It gets better.
Therapy for moms in Atlanta, throughout Georgia & Florida.
Motherhood is complex and messy. It can feel like a constant learning process.
You're in thick of it:
trapped in a cycle of what ifs, like every decision is too big — you feel like there is a right and very wrong choice, but you can’t seem to figure it out
sleep is hard to come by as it’s replaced by racing thoughts that keep you on edge
scary thoughts pop in your head, leaving you terrified that they might somehow manifest into reality
rage feels inevitable; the smallest things seem to trigger anger or shut down
feeling isolated and ashamed of your feelings, like you’re making this harder than it should be
fear and pain around pregnancy/ birth trauma and other traumas linger, making it hard to be in the moment
it feels like parts of you are missing and joy is hard to come by
wondering if you’re invisible because others just don’t seem to get it
torn between the desire for a family and fear of the unknown
feeling profoundly alone and when you ask for validation, you find yourself feeling more misunderstood
thoughts of where do I even begin leave you frozen — whether it’s about having kids or more kids or returning to work or not working
the image of motherhood you had in your head is gone, leaving you with disappointment and grief over what you thought it’d look like
the high standards you set for yourself and usually meet are becoming unattainable as a mom leaving your sense of self worth feels crippled
taking care of the baby is almost too much as a heavy weight of sadness and apathy looms over you
This doesn’t have to be your story.
Becoming a mom is one of the biggest transitions we’ll experience and it is an ongoing process. It changes the way we see ourselves. It presents with its own anticipations, griefs and joys — and all emotions in their extremes, from rage to exhaustion and deep sadness to elation and profound love. To put it simply, motherhood is hard. You’re worthy of support as you move through it.
Picture this: a day where it’s not a constant struggle, days where you feel lighter - in therapy for moms, we’ll get you there:
develop practical strategies to find peace amidst the chaos
move from feeling lost about your own needs to understanding and confidently expressing them
prioritize yourself, not as an afterthought, but as an essential part of your wellbeing
reclaim your sense of agency; feeling control over your choices so life can happen with you as opposed to to you
rediscover your energy and inner strength through cultivating self-compassion and self-acceptance
process and heal from trauma, so you can feel space in your body and mind again
feel the joy of meaningful relationships to feel truly present with yourself, your children and others
