Everything that we do clinically with families who've had a perinatal crisis and we've talked all about NICU is that precious little should come between parents and their babies and that parents are part of the health team.
What happens when a clinical psychologist faces the very challenges she helps others navigate? In this episode of 'Friday Night Feels', host Patrick Monette sits down with Dr. Mara Tesler Stein, founder and director of the Touchstone Institute for Perinatal Training. Dr. Stein opens up about her deeply personal experiences with perinatal trauma, from infertility struggles to the harrowing journey of a twin pregnancy that included prolonged hospital bedrest and time in the NICU.
Her story isn't just about her own hardships; it's a call to action for better support systems and awareness in neonatal care. Dr. Stein talks about the emotional and psychological toll these experiences took on her and her family, highlighting the often-overlooked subtle traumas that can occur during the perinatal period. She passionately advocates for more parental involvement in neonatal care and stresses the importance of educating clinicians to recognize and address these issues early on.
