The journey to becoming a mother, and the joys and challenges that it brings, can feel overwhelming at times. We provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment for mothers to express their thoughts and feelings. By learning skills to assist in regulating your own nervous system, you can become more confident in managing the stressors of parenthood and being the mother that you want to be.
It is completely normal, and common to feel down, overwhelmed or anxious after giving birth. We just went through a major physical trauma for our bodies as well as a major life change! The “baby blues” are caused by hormones as well as other factors, and will generally improve over time as the mother adjusts to this life changes and her hormones begin to re-regulate. However, post-partum anxiety and depression involve symptoms that can be difficult to control or navigate on your own. These symptoms can make it difficult for a person to feel present and engaged in the daily activities that parenting requires. Having support in therapy to treat post-partum depression and/or anxiety is so important.
