91: Therapist perspective: Psychotherapy with new moms

There are some powerful experiences that new moms go through when coming in to psychotherapy. Moms who are pregnant, experienced a loss, birth trauma or postpartum are often transforming in to a new version of themselves. Here's what we reflect on... *These moms are brave and strong. *New motherhood is a mirror. Sometimes a magnifying glass. *Motherhood makes your heart open and can make you a deeper sense of vulnerability, anxiety, be in touch from deeper feelings. That can happen for partners too. *Working through some of the pain leads to healthier lives. *Therapy helps you understand that it's not "you" it's what you're going through. *You can heal through past events that are impacting you now. *You are not alone and you can feel better!
