Postpartum Distress, (Im intentionally avoiding diagnosing labels here) is not a problem rooted in present day.

My intention in therapy isn't to help you "manage" the distress.

My intention is to find the root cause of that distress, understand it and re-wire it from its root cause.

My intention is to re-connect you.

My intention is to guide you to find what is authentic for you.

Maybe you don't even know what that looks like,

But I'm curious...

What could that possibly feel like?

I see you mama!

💜The ones who need things to be done correctly

💜The one who shows up for everyone else and puts her own needs last.

💜The one that feels like they ask for "too much" or have standards "too high".

These traits can make postpartum a STRUGGLE.

Maybe it really just means that you need safety, security, comfort and love.

Good news, these are all just symptoms of underlying limiting beliefs that we can sit with, understand, and move on from!

As a recovering people pleaser myself, I can tell you the water is beautiful on the other side 😉

During Postpartum, your healing and mental health matter just as much as your baby's needs.

These are a few of the things I always check in about in my initial consult.

✅️ Is mom eating? Is she eating nutrient dense foods? Is she drinking enough water?

✅️ Is mom able to take time to go for a walk? Or do some stretches?

🌟Did you know that movement can create better quality sleep?!🌟

✅️ How much sleep is mom currently getting? Are there ways that we can maximize this? Is mom having a hard time falling asleep? Is mom waking even without external stimuli?

🌟I always say mom should be getting at least 4 hours of UNINTERRUPTED sleep each night. We often include this in our goals.🌟

✅️ Does mom have space to care for herself? What does the support system look like? Is there space built in for activities that mom enjoys?

💜 Mom is the most important piece of the puzzle 💜

These seemingly small things can have a huge impact on mental health and recovery.

Maybe a sweet little 📩 send of this post to your support system would helpful?

"I feel like I can be present with my kids now"

"I feel like I have a voice that I can use and express myself more clearly"

"I feel so much lighter!" (This is the most common one 😉)

TW: birth trauma

The experience of birth trauma often isn't as obvious as you may think it is.

It's not only in those moments of fear,

But can be found in those moments of helplessness.

Those moments of not being heard or understood.

Those moments of rushed decisions.

You may not understand why you feel "off".

You may not understand why you feel disconnected.

The good news is,

Is that we can put all those puzzle pieces back together.

You get to feel yourself again.

You get to feel connected to yourself and to your family.

Please reach out for support with a specialized provider!

You're worth it, Mama ❤️

I was watching this interview yesterday by with neuroscientist .suzuki and was kinda chuckling to myself.

Here, they are talking about brain health, and yet some of the most common issues we see with new moms are being shared as the main problems with brain health!

✅️ Poor Sleep
✅️ Sedentary Lifestyle
✅️ Isolation

So when I say - PRIORITIZE SLEEP, I mean it!!

Going for walks or checking out are great options for movement!

And seeing friends, family or joining "the group chat" can be great options to combat that isolation!
and.body
Are other great options to find community and time with some great people!

What are your favourite tips and tricks that helped with Sleep, a sedentary Lifestyle and isolation postpartum??
