Birthing with Trauma and Fear

YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. AND YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK. Whether you carry past trauma, fear around birth, or feel unsure how to prepare emotionally, Birthing with Trauma and Fear is your compassionate guide to a grounded, empowering birth. Drawing from her own personal story and over a decade of work as a doula and childbirth educator, Moran Liviani shares trauma-aware insights, practical tools, and real-world support, all woven together with the honest, powerful stories of women who have experienced birth in many forms. Through years of supporting women, and through her own healing, Moran developed The Essential 10: a clear, practical framework to help you prepare, rebuild confidence, and approach birth with clarity and self-trust. This is the book every woman needs to read in preparation for birth because at its core, it speaks to every woman. Whether your fears are loud or buried, whether your trauma is known or unspoken, this book meets you where you are. It holds space for your healing, your voice, and your power. Birthing with Trauma and Fear is also an essential resource for birth workers, doulas, midwives, obstetricians, and partners. It offers a deeper understanding of how to support someone preparing for birth emotionally, practically, and with insight into how agency, trust, and communication influence not just how birth unfolds, but how it feels and how it's remembered. Birth doesn't have to look like the stories you've been told. This book invites you to rewrite the script, one that honours your experience, your power, and the way you want to feel. LET THIS BOOK REMIND YOU: Your story matters, your strength is real, and your birth can be powerful because you are the director of your experience.
