S2 Episode 5: Mum rage & resentment with Sophie Harris AKA Looking After Mum

On this episode of the Sleep Show I speak to pregnancy and postpartum psychotherapist Sophie Harris.

Sophie’s a psychotherapist who specialises in helping new mums during pregnancy and postpartum. She aims to normalise motherhood's tough times, help mums feel better, and celebrate being a mother. She believes that supporting and valuing the role of a mother should be made a priority to help build a happier and healthier society.

She’s also known as Looking After Mum on Instagram and I absolutely LOVE her reassuring and supportive posts. I experienced night rage as a new mum and I wasn’t expecting it. The rage really took me by surprise and I found her page invaluable in my early days of motherhood.

I really hope she becomes a regular guest on the podcast for us!

During this episode she talks us through:

-Mum rage

-Irrational fears

-Intrusive thoughts

-Anxiety

-Anxious thoughts

-Resentment

And SO much more!

I found it so reassuring to hear that I wasn’t the only one who found some days so exhausting that I didn’t have the energy to even brush my teeth.

And I really hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it together!
