This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a therapy called Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (GTEP)—a type of group-based trauma therapy—to see if it can help people who experienced a traumatic birth recover from their symptoms. The therapy has worked for other groups of people dealing with trauma, but this is the first time researchers are testing whether it works specifically for birth trauma. You would attend six weekly online sessions with others who have had similar experiences.
Up to 15% of people experience trauma symptoms after childbirth, and some develop PTSD, depression, or anxiety that can last for months or years. This can affect their ability to bond with their baby and their overall wellbeing. Researchers want to know if this group therapy approach can help people heal from these difficult experiences.

You would participate in eight sessions over about two months. First, a therapist visits your home to confirm you're a good fit and collect baseline information. Then you attend six weekly online group sessions (about 90 minutes each) via Zoom with other participants, where you'll work through your birth trauma with a trained facilitator. Finally, you have a final check-in conversation either over the phone or in person to discuss how the group helped you. Throughout, you'll answer brief questionnaires about your symptoms, wellbeing, and bonding with your baby.
