Quotes “This was not on our radar at all… that my life could be in danger… It was a HUGE wake up call” “I went from being this really busy person to being this person, at home, binging on Netflix” “We are so sorry, we don’t think this baby is going to come home… it’s just to early” “Too early but late enough that it gave him a chance at life” “If I can get 15 days, and I am nobody special, what is possible if we can teach this to everyone?” “You have the power, you have information nobody else on this planet has” “If you are coming from a place of survival, you are not going to be able to speak up” “Trauma is something that happens to your body too soon, too much, too fast… notice it has nothing to do with what the event is” “It is a physiological response happening outside of conscious choice” “Get the heck out of here, we are in a health crisis!” “You have to learn how to feel safe again, in your own life” “We cannot think or talk ourselves out of trauma” “You don’t have to remember what happened to heal, and you don’t have to talk about it” “It’s not because your ceiling as dropped, it’s because your floor has risen” Links Parijat Deshpande Contact and More: email: [e-mail] URL: https://parijatdeshpande.com/ IG: @healthy.highriskpregnancy Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParijatDesh/ Parijat's Book, Pregnancy Brain - Available on Kindle and paperback on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. - https://parijatdeshpande.lpages.co/pregnancybrain/ Listen to the Delivering Miracles podcast - https://www.parijatdeshpande.com/podcast Christie Instagram: @yoursmilinghygienist Website: www.yoursmilinghygienist.com Jasmin Instagram: @itjasminhaley Facebook: @itsjasminhaley Website: www.jasminhaley.com Karen Instagram: @skaren52 The Safe Place for MOMgienists Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MOMgienists/ The Dental Podcast Network Channel One homepage: http://dentalpodcastnetworkchannelone.otcpn.libsynpro.com/
