The investigators will screen, among women who had a traumatic perception of an event related to the pregnancy or the childbirth, those who still present posttraumatic stress symptoms at 4 weeks post-partum. Four weeks from the traumatic event is the minimum delay to qualify a PTSD.
After randomization IGT versus Treatment As Usual (TAU), the investigators planned an early therapeutic intervention, 3 sessions at 8, 10 and 12 weeks of post-partum.
