Stillbirth, Self-compassion and Resilience

Stillbirth, Self-compassion and Resilience

By Alice Rose

A fascinating conversation with clinical pyschologist and Mum to Orla, stillborn at full term, and Esme; Michelle shares insights into her own personal story of healing. We cover all kinds of topics in this episode and focus on how we can practice self-compassion, what it means when we change as people through our experiences and how we can learn to be OK with the people we become. Fave quotes: “there was a time after Orla died that I was just so devastated I thought I would never go back to my life before; I thought I’m never going to go back to work, I’m never going to be a psychologist again” “going through some life experiences will change the core of who you are…this sense of us being static beings is just not realistic” “there’s so many things that are different about me, because of Orla; her life and death- that I almost wouldn’t want to change that…because that would eradicate her from my history” You can find out more at from Michelle's award-winning blog at: fromtheotherchair.co.uk and on Instagram @fromtheotherchair Your feedback means the world; if you feel moved to tell me how you felt listening to this episode, then do drop me a line alicerosecreative@gmail.com, find me on Instagram @thisisalicerose or visit my website www.thisisalicerose.com.
