Before you become a mom, you envision love, joy, and nurturing. We know it won’t be all easy-that your lives will be full of diaper changes and less sleep and different priorities. But most of you don’t realize how motherhood can impact your mental health. A lot of mothers find themselves struggling with feelings and thoughts they didn’t anticipate. Motherhood has a way of bringing out:

• Perfectionism
• Unsolveded childhood trauma
• Critical self-talk
• Attachment issues
• Unhealthy boundaries
• Relationship issues
• Indecisiveness
• Lack of confidence
• Reactiveness
• Lack of confidence
• Unrealistic expectations

When these things come out, they can be difficult to navigate. It’s no wonder that a lot of us find yourselves struggling with the transition to motherhood. You don’t have to struggle with these feelings and thoughts of your own. Working with a mom therapist can help you navigate the transition into motherhood, and cope with the struggles it brings so you can take care of your mental health.
