Welcome to another episode of Rising Into Mindful Motherhood. In this episode, we dive deep into the world of motherhood, trauma, and healing with Patty Castellanos, a licensed therapist, hypnotherapist, and mom wellness coach. Her unique approach helps women overcome past traumas, fears, and negative beliefs to live a life of true alignment and joy on their journey to motherhood.
Meeting Patty Castellanos
Patty is a mother of two who has turned her own experiences with motherhood into a powerful mission to help other women. With licenses in therapy and hypnotherapy, she guides women through the challenges of motherhood—from fertility issues to birth trauma—by fostering self-love, setting boundaries, and prioritizing mental wellness.
The Role of Hypnotherapy in Motherhood
In this episode, Patty delves into how hypnotherapy plays a crucial role in her work. She shares her personal story, discussing how her first birth experience led to her realization of the power of the mind-body connection in motherhood. Her initial experience was challenging; despite doing everything "by the book," she had an unexpected Caesarean section, leading to a difficult postpartum period. Patty's journey took a transformative turn when she discovered hypnotherapy. This technique not only helped her process her own birth experience but also guided her towards a more empowering preparation for her second childbirth. She emphasizes the importance of informed consent, a trustworthy provider, and the impact of a supportive birth team.
Transforming Fear and Trauma
Katie and Patty discuss how childhood traumas, even seemingly insignificant ones, can translate into fears and anxieties around parenting and childbirth. Patty offers valuable advice on how to release these fears by recognizing that past experiences don't have to shape your future. She elaborates on techniques to reframe these beliefs, urging women to allow flexibility and self-compassion in their motherhood journey.
Staying Connected
Patty provides actionable advice on staying connected with your body and partner during the conception journey. She highlights the importance of reducing stress, seeking joy, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which all contribute to a more positive experience.
