91: Therapist perspective: Psychotherapy with new moms

There are some powerful experiences that new moms go through when coming in to psychotherapy. Moms who are pregnant, experienced a loss, birth trauma or postpartum are often transforming in to a new version of themselves.
Here's what we reflect on...
*These moms are brave and strong.
*New motherhood is a mirror. Sometimes a magnifying glass.
*Motherhood makes your heart open and can make you a deeper sense of vulnerability, anxiety, be in touch from deeper feelings. That can happen for partners too.
*Working through some of the pain leads to healthier lives.
*Therapy helps you understand that it's not "you" it's what you're going through.
*You can heal through past events that are impacting you now.
*You are not alone and you can feel better!
