It gets better.
Therapy for maternal mental health in Atlanta, throughout Georgia, Florida and Arizona
Motherhood can take a lot out of you. For most of us, it is a journey unlike any other.
You may be experiencing:
constant worry
scary thoughts
feeling like you’re just in “survival mode”
sadness, overwhelm
anger towards partner or others; in general
memories of pregnancy/ birth trauma; other trauma
grief and loss
knowing you’re a mother and others not being able to see it
confusion and uncertainty about whether to have children
loneliness
where and how to start; for the first time or again
life not looking how you want it to
You’re not alone.
Motherhood doesn’t have to feel this way.
I know it is really hard right now. Up to 20% of women experience symptoms of anxiety, depression or a mood disorder, during and/or after pregnancy (www.postpartum.net). What you’re going through is common, though common doesn’t make it okay. You deserve relief - it will get better - with help and support.
Therapy for maternal mental health can help you…
develop self-care strategies to find relief from distress
identify your needs and ways to meet them
feel a sense of control again
have more energy and confidence
communicate your needs to others
feel connected to yourself and loved ones
learn tools that will help you navigate everyday life as a mother
