What this could lead to
If this therapy works, it could provide an effective, short-term treatment option for women suffering from post-traumatic stress after childbirth.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 29 participants. It focuses on feasibility, not proof of effectiveness. The therapy may not reduce symptoms for everyone, and results may not apply to all birthing people.
