Self-Worth, Respect and Oxytocin
February 01, 2012
Sure, there's a connection between how we're treated and our feelings of self-worth. Is there also an oxytocin connection?
Nekole Shapiro of EmbodiedBirth speaks to the connection between how a woman feels about herself sexually-- whether on a date or in the birthing room -- and the production of oxytocin. Learn why disrespecting a laboring woman hinders the birthing process. She finishes by taking us through an exercise that can help you feel more in touch with your own body.
This is Nekole's intro to @RickiLake's movie More Business of Being Born - The VBAC Dilemma at Birth Uncut in Reno NV Nov. 2011.
