879: Parijat Deshpande: The Unseen Impact of Traumatic Stress and Collective Trauma

Parijat Deshpande is the founder and CEO of Ruvelle, the only trauma-informed wellness company specifically dedicated to improving high-risk pregnancy outcomes, reducing preterm birth, and supporting parents on the entire high-risk pregnancy journey. On a mission to end the high-risk pregnancy crisis, she has served and supported thousands of clients through her live events, one-on-one work, her bestselling book, Pregnancy Brain: A Mind-Body Approach to Stress Management During a High-Risk Pregnancy, and the Body Language Journal.

I am thrilled to welcome Parijat back to the show as a second-time guest. I have watched her work evolve over the years since she was last on the show and I had a sense that now is just the right time to have her come back - this time to talk about traumatic stress and collective trauma.  

Listen in to hear Parijat share:

• Her path to working in women’s health and serving women who are enduring health trauma
• The significance of trauma-informed medical care and where we are currently going wrong without it
• What it’s like for people with medical trauma to navigate the world without people understanding their experience
• How the pandemic created a situation of global collective trauma that we are still very much living in
• What needs to happen for us to heal from collective trauma
• When we don’t have collective safety, how we can find support at any given moment by addressing our own physiological needs 
• How we have shifted from living in collective trauma to living in a collective functional freeze
• What trauma-sensitive medical care actually looks like
