There are mornings I wake up and feel like I’m already behind.
There are evenings where I count down the seconds to bedtime.
There are days I crave space so badly it physically aches.

I love my kids. Fiercely.
But I don’t love every moment of motherhood.
And I wish someone had told me that that was allowed.
The pressure to enjoy it all is so loud—especially when you’ve waited, hoped, or struggled to get here.

But love and resentment can coexist.
Gratitude and grief can share space.
Exhaustion doesn’t cancel out love.

As a therapist and a mom, I want to say this clearly:

You can feel overwhelmed, frustrated, disconnected—and still be a good, caring, present parent.

Let’s normalize the full emotional range of parenthood. Not just the highlight reel.

Infertility is not “just” a medical journey. It’s emotional, relational, and deeply personal. You shouldn’t have to carry all of that alone.

Here are 5 reasons emotional support matters so much when you’re TTC:

Your brain is in survival mode.
Constant cycles, appointments, and waiting keep your nervous system on high alert. Support helps your body and mind remember what safety feels like.

You’re grieving losses no one sees.
Every negative test, cancelled cycle, or delayed plan is its own kind of grief. Having a safe place to say that out loud is healing, not “dramatic.”

It protects your relationship.
Infertility can create distance, resentment, or miscommunication between partners. Support gives you tools to stay connected instead of drifting apart.

It reduces shame and self-blame.
You didn’t cause this. You’re not broken. Being supported by someone who gets it helps you challenge the harsh stories you tell yourself.

You deserve a soft place to land.
You’re allowed to be more than “strong.” You’re allowed to fall apart, ask for help, and be cared for too.

🧡 Want some support with this right now?

You're snapping over spilled Cheerios. Clenching your fists in the bathroom so you don’t yell.
You hate how it feels—and the shame that comes after.

But here's the truth: this isn’t who you are.

It’s what happens when your nervous system has nowhere to go with all the pressure, overstimulation, and unmet needs.
Parenting rage is a trauma response.

And it’s more common than people admit—especially in mothers who are holding too much.

😤 You’re not “too angry.”
😤 You’re not failing.
😤 You’re overwhelmed. And under-supported.

Here’s where we start:
Name it without shame: "I’m angry, and that doesn’t make me dangerous.”

Notice the moments that build up to it—sensory overload, sleep deprivation, feeling invisible.

Know that regulation isn’t about “calming down”—it’s about feeling safe again.

Therapy can help you understand what’s under the rage—grief, exhaustion, trauma—and begin to reclaim peace.

It’s normal for couples to feel disconnected after having a baby.

Your bandwidth shrinks. Your roles change. Conversations become logistics.
But with support, couples can rebuild closeness, communication, and emotional safety

You don’t have to navigate this alone: our team specializes in postpartum relationships and the mental load.

Since the baby came (or the fertility journey started), you’ve stopped finishing conversations.
You pass each other in the hallway. You talk logistics, not feelings.

You scroll on separate screens at night because you’re too tired to connect.
Sound familiar?

Disconnection after a major life change isn’t a sign you’re failing. It’s a sign that you’re both adapting in different ways. That you’ve shifted into survival mode—and connection needs tending, not fixing.
Here’s how therapy can help:

💞 Translate what’s really being said under the surface
🛠 Rebuild tiny rituals of intimacy, even during chaos
🗣 Learn to argue differently—so you’re not just replaying the same fight

You can find your way back to each other, slowly. Tenderly. With help.

After having a baby, it’s easy for the relationship between partners to shift, sometimes in ways you didn’t expect. You’re both adjusting to a new role, new responsibilities, and new routines. There’s less time for each other, less energy to connect, and often, more stress.

But here’s the thing: this adjustment period can bring you closer together if you both make space for it. It’s not about perfection; it’s about intentionality. Having a baby is an overwhelming transition, and if you both find ways to support each other through it, it can strengthen your relationship.

Here are some tips to help your relationship during this time:
💬 Talk about your feelings: Share what you're going through emotionally—both the highs and the lows.
👶 Share the load: Division of labor is crucial. It can prevent resentment from building up.
❤️ Make time for each other: Even if it’s just 10 minutes of undistracted time together, it can make a difference.

Remember, it’s okay to struggle, and it’s okay to ask for help. If you're finding the changes in your relationship after baby to be overwhelming, you don’t have to go through it alone.

Anyone else remember what "free time" is?

Caregiving can feel like a full-body, full-identity takeover.
Whether you’re parenting, managing a household, caring for a partner or loved one—you may start to feel like your name has been replaced by your role.

And it’s not just time that disappears.
It’s your creativity. Your friendships. Your ability to finish a sentence without being interrupted.

That slow loss of self? It’s real. And it’s heartbreaking.

But you are not gone.

Therapy can help you:
🧭 Reconnect with parts of yourself that got buried under logistics and emotional labor
🗣 Set boundaries around your time and your body
💡 Explore who you are beyond who you care for

You’re allowed to matter—without doing a single thing for someone else.

In a world where AI feels like it’s everywhere, it’s tempting to think it can “fill in” for therapy. But therapy isn’t just about answers. It’s about safety, connection, empathy, and a trained professional who can notice the unspoken and carefully guide you.

AI tools cannot hold space for trauma, pick up on subtle cues, or provide the ethical and regulated framework that psychotherapy requires. For issues like anxiety, depression, postpartum struggles, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or simply navigating life transitions, you deserve more than a chatbot.

At Bloom Psychotherapy, our therapists are trained, compassionate, and committed to supporting you in ways no algorithm ever could.

In therapy, we help couples:
🪞 Understand what emotional labor looks like in practice (hint: it’s not just chores)
🎯 Talk about needs without blame or shame
🫂 Build shared systems so the load doesn’t always fall on one person

It’s not about scorekeeping. It’s about safety. Equity. And rebuilding the team.

You don’t have to be the default parent and emotional processor. Let’s rebalance the weight—together.

Remember, this disconnect doesn't always come from parenting, but also during the fertility journey. Join us live on Dec 3 as we discuss holding hope during infertility and recognize its impact on all aspects of life, including relationships. Link in our bio
