The Business of Being Born

Broadcast date: 10/28/14

When did pregnancy and childbirth become viewed as medical emergencies instead of natural occurrences experienced by women since the beginning of time?  This is the question explored in the documentary, The Business of Being Born, and current research supporting a return to a more balanced and holistic approach to childbirth.  Tune in for a conversation with the Reluctant Therapist, Elizabeth Barrett, about the growing concern among professionals and parents regarding this era of pathologizing life's most normal experiences.

Elizabeth Barrett is a wife, mother, licensed marriage-family therapist, educator, eavesdropper, emotion worker, and mental health consultant. She uses all of these skills to address the subjects that we all struggle with in this conversation with the Reluctant Therapist.
