Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders
Providing Everything You Need
Pregnancy, Perinatal and Postpartum Therapy in Whittier, CA
You gave birth and are not feeling joy. You have everything that makes someone think life is great. Yet, you are trying to make sense of what happened in the hospital setting. Giving birth may have been one of the most scariest moments of your life. You may have felt alone managing hospital staff trying to provide interventions to rush the baby out. Your birth plan went out the window. You were probably attending to your body making you unable to self-advocate. Now you are at home with baby, unable to sleep like you used to or eat.
You are adjusting to your new role as a mom. You love your baby, but you don't feel like yourself anymore. You might feel like you are constantly on alert, scanning for things that can harm baby, exhausted, possibly having scary thoughts that you don't feel comfortable sharing. You might feel like you are drifting from your partner.
​
You have probably only been to the 4-6 week postpartum visit, you may not have others to share with. Medical staff say it's normal, you are adjusting to motherhood. Deep down you know, this is not you, the feelings, the images, and the thoughts are intense.
You do not need to suffer in silence or feel ashamed for what you are feeling or thinking. Therapy can help you find balance, learn how to ask for support, and make sense of irrational thoughts.
Each pregnancy is different, whether you are a first time mother or not. Together we can process the grief, frustration, anxiety, past traumas, that are preventing you from experiencing the beauty of giving birth to a new soul. Let's work together to help you find peace of mind, clarity, and reconnect with your inner light.
