Childhood Trauma Consultant
Beth Tyson Trauma Consulting
Beth Tyson is a childhood trauma expert whose personal and professional
journey was profoundly shaped by her lived experience with birth trauma. As
both a mother and a trauma therapist, Beth witnessed firsthand the emotional
and psychological impact of traumatic birth experiences on both parent and infant
mental health. This experience ignited her passion to not only heal from her own
trauma but also to educate others on the long-term effects of birth trauma and
the importance of trauma-informed care. With her deep expertise in childhood
trauma, Beth now dedicates her work to improving outcomes for children and
families by addressing and healing early adverse experiences, particularly those
related to birth and early childhood adversity.
