What the Body Holds
The postpartum phase isn’t just about physically healing our bodies — so much more is happening, especially during a pandemic. Our bodies can hold experiences and emotions that we aren’t always aware of. And this can be compounded when you are a part of the 15-20% of people who identify as a Highly Sensitive Person.
Misa and Veena contemplate what emotions and experiences our bodies may still be holding after giving birth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Long story short, birthing people need nurturing. They also need tangible resources and support.
