In this episode of Pregnancy Pain Sucks, Dr. Brandie Keates sits down with trauma therapist Erin Woodbridge, co-founder of The Willow Space for Trauma Treatment, to explore how trauma quietly shapes the way we think, feel, and relate…especially during high-stress seasons like pregnancy and parenthood.

Erin breaks down the difference between trauma-informed care and true trauma-focused therapy, explaining why many people struggle with anxiety, disconnection, or relationship conflict even without a formal diagnosis. The conversation dives into how past experiences live in the body, showing up as emotional reactivity, numbing behaviors, or feeling “out of control” in everyday situations.

Dr. Brandie Keates is a prenatal chiropractor and sports medicine specialist with over 25 years of clinical experience. She runs Bloom Sanctuary on the Main Line in PA, where she treats pregnancy pain the way sports medicine treats athletes… with precision, respect, and evidence-based care.

TOPICS FROM THIS EPISODE:

  • How trauma shows up in everyday life (even without a PTSD diagnosis)
  • Why relationship conflict is often rooted in past experiences, not the present moment
  • Pregnancy, identity shifts, and how major life transitions can trigger unresolved trauma
