💜 To our mamas navigating the winter storm 💜

Winter storms can bring more than cold weather—they can bring stress, worry, isolation, and exhaustion. If you’re feeling overwhelmed right now, please know this: you are not failing. You are responding to hard circumstances with strength and love.

It’s okay to slow down. It’s okay if today looks different than planned. Rest when you can. Check in with your body. Breathe. Your presence alone is enough for your family right now.

You don’t have to carry everything by yourself. Support matters—especially in moments like these. Therapy Plus is holding space for you, sending warmth, care, and encouragement as you weather this storm.

💜 You are doing the best you can.
💜 You deserve support.
💜 You are not alone.

— With care,
Therapy Plus

💜 Trauma matters—especially in pregnancy. 💜

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events before age 18—like abuse, neglect, household instability, or exposure to violence. These experiences don’t stay in childhood; they can impact health across a lifetime.

Research shows that higher ACE scores are linked to increased risks for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and pregnancy complications. The CDC has noted that toxic stress from early adversity can affect the body’s stress-response system and long-term health...factors that connect directly to maternal health outcomes.

Trauma doesn’t disappear during pregnancy. For many mamas, it can become more visible as bodies, hormones, relationships, and stress levels shift.

That’s why trauma-informed care isn’t optional—it’s essential. When care is rooted in safety, trust, compassion, and choice, we reduce missed warning signs and better support mothers—especially those most at risk of poor outcomes.

Trauma matters. Stories matter. 💜

Research shows that higher Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are linked to increased risk for anxiety, depression, and pregnancy complications. Trauma doesn’t pause during pregnancy—often, it becomes more visible as bodies, hormones, relationships, and stress levels shift.

That’s why trauma-informed care isn’t optional—it’s essential. Our Holding Space Maternal Health Symposium creates space to strengthen how we respond to mothers and families with compassion, safety, and choice, while honoring lived experience and the stories that too often go unheard.

There’s still time to register!

Maternal stress is not just a mom issue — it’s a family issue.

Pregnancy and the months after birth are powerful periods of growth, not just for babies, but for mothers too. When a mother is overwhelmed, anxious, or unsupported, her nervous system carries that stress — and so does her baby’s developing brain.

But here’s the hope:
When mamas are met with compassion, care, and access to mental health support, it helps create safety for both mom and baby. Support doesn’t just ease today’s stress — it protects tomorrow’s wellbeing.

At Therapy Plus, we believe every mother deserves to be seen, heard, and supported through every stage of her journey. You don’t have to carry it alone. 💗

Postpartum anxiety is common....and often misunderstood. 🤍

According to Postpartum Support International, 1 in 5 moms experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder. For many mamas, anxiety shows up as constant worry, a racing mind, or jumping to the worst-case scenario (this is called catastrophizing).

Common signs can include:
💜 Constant “what if” thoughts
💜 Racing mind or difficulty relaxing
💜 Trouble sleeping—even when the baby sleeps
💜 Physical symptoms like tight chest, nausea, or restlessness

If you find yourself thinking, “What if something bad happens?” over small moments....you’re not failing. You’re a mama who deserves support.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or constantly worried, support is available. Talk with your healthcare provider about what you’re experiencing—they can help you take the next step.

Not sure where to start? There are mama-centered support lines that can connect you to local resources and caring professionals who understand the postpartum journey.

📣 Policy Update for Mississippi Mamas & Families

Starting January 1, 2026, Mississippi state employees will have access to paid parental leave under House Bill 1063.

👶🏽 What this includes:

✔️ 100% paid leave

✔️ 8 weeks for primary caregivers

✔️ 2 weeks for secondary caregivers (including fathers)

✔️ Applies to birth or adoption

✔️ Runs concurrent with FMLA and does not use accrued leave

💜 Why this matters:

Paid parental leave supports postpartum recovery, maternal mental health, bonding, and family stability—key factors in improving maternal and infant health outcomes in Mississippi.

This is a meaningful step toward policies that recognize supporting mamas is public health.
