Why don't we all realize (all of humanity, not just birth professionals) that how people react to us is usually a reflection of (or response to) how we treat them? Or a response to how they were treated during a previous experience - in which case they need extra nurturing, not misunderstanding attitudes... We all need to treat each other a bit more gently, and respectfully, and then we will create less defensive practises. Birthing Beautifully, Jackie Mawson.
