8: Interview with Andrea Thompson, APRN, FNP

Andrea Thompson is a Family Nurse Practitioner and will very soon be a Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. We discussed her two vastly different cesarean births, including birth trauma, and how they impacted her mental health, her career as a nurse practitioner and how she's transitioning into specializing in maternal mental health, de-stigmatizing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD), how mamas can begin to process their own birth experiences, and more.
