Explore · Reproductive Anxiety Disorder
RAD is the umbrella framework that names the full spectrum of reproductive fear — from tokophobia to pregnancy anxiety to post-decision grief. It explains what’s happening when biology and fear collide.
Betrayed By Your Biology is the first book to map the full RAD spectrum — what it is, why it matters, what the data shows. It brings together lived experience, clinical insight, and the framework that gives reproductive fear a name.
Backed by the white papers that lay out the academic case, the prevalence data, and the cultural drivers that keep reproductive anxiety hidden in plain sight.
The Fearless Birthing Viewpoint
It names what medicine doesn’t yet have language for: the full spectrum of anxiety, fear, and distress that surrounds reproduction. From the woman who avoids pregnancy entirely to the mother who can’t stop reliving her birth — these experiences belong on the same continuum. RAD draws that line.
“Name it. Understand it. Clear it.”
