Clinical Hypnosis for Perinatal Mental Health with Abby Abigail Burd, California psychotherapist

Recently, my colleague Dr. Kat Kaeni, outgoing president of the board of Postpartum Support International, interviewed me on her popular Mom & Mind Podcast. Her long running podcast (I was episode 360 – love that number) is one of my top recommended for perinatal mental health.
