Such sound advice.

Our brains are wired to respond to threats with flight/fight/freeze/fawn (turning on our amygdala and activating our sympathetic nervous system). This process hijacks our ability to access our frontal lobes or thinking brain. We are animals, after all.

When the threat is eliminated, our frontal lobe (thinking brain) is reactivated and we return to a parasympathetic state (rest and digest).

This the natural stress cycle.

When this cycle isn’t able to complete, we are stuck in a a dysregulated, sympathetic fight or flight.

Our brains are not designed to be exposed to chronic threats or constant access to triggering information via news, social media, etc.

However, we can work on completing this stress cycle like this clinician explains below.

So much of my work revolves around this exact issue. I’m grateful that on a daily basis, I get to witness moms learn the impact of childhood trauma and how to end the generational patterns.

Officially earned my PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification) today!

This specialized training is imperative as a therapist who treats mental health concerns during pregnancy and after delivery. If you, or someone you know, is suffering from PMAD (Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder), finding a provider with this training is an absolute must. This includes dads and partners. 1 in 5-7 women and 1 in 10 fathers experience a PMAD.

Glad to see resources being utilized on such an important cause! Let’s hope this new medication is a game changer for the 1 in 7 mothers who experience Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD).

In trials, the treatment improved depression symptoms among new mothers as early as three days after they started it.
