IPV is far more common than most people realize, and pregnancy or postpartum can be a time when harmful patterns become more visible.
�If you’ve been feeling scared, controlled, dismissed, or constantly on edge… please know this:

You’re not imagining it.�You’re not “overreacting.”�You’re not to blame.

There is no shame in noticing something feels off.�There is no judgment in reaching out for help.�And you do not need proof, bruises, or the “right words” to deserve support.
If any part of you has been whispering, “This doesn’t feel okay,” please honour that.�
Talk to someone you trust- a friend, a professional, a support line.�Help is available, and you do not have to navigate this alone.

I know what it’s like to feel like you’re not allowed to feel joy after a loss. You think, How can I be happy about this pregnancy when I can’t forget the one I lost? The grief lingers, and every new milestone seems to bring you closer to that loss again instead of moving you further away from it.

For those of us pregnant after a loss, joy can feel like a betrayal to the baby we lost. We wonder if it’s okay to get excited or if it’s wrong to feel any happiness. The truth is, you can love this baby and still grieve the one you lost. The grief doesn’t make the joy any less valid, and the joy doesn’t erase the pain—it can just coexist with it.

It’s okay to laugh, to plan for your baby’s future, to dream about the little things you’ll do together. It doesn’t mean you’ve forgotten the baby you lost or that you’re not honoring that loss. It just means you’re finding ways to heal and to make space for new love and new hope.

If you’re struggling with allowing yourself to feel joy, you are not alone. It’s possible to find both grief and joy, side by side.

Prenatal anxiety impacts the whole family — not just the birthing parent. Partners feel the pressure too. Your worry, stress, and sleepless nights are real. Support for both parents matters long before baby arrives.

If this resonates, reach out, talk to someone you trust, or save this post so you’re not walking through it alone.

New blog post!

If you’ve ever carried a wailing, spaghetti-limbed toddler out of a grocery store while your face burns with embarrassment—this is for you.

Tantrums are one of the most exhausting and bewildering parts of toddlerhood. One moment you’re having a calm breakfast, and the next, your child is screaming because you dared to peel their banana the “wrong” way.

We know how frustrating and exhausting tantrums are so we wanted to answer common questions we hear! Check out our latest blog post - link in bio

People often ask, “How many sessions until I feel better?”

And I get it. You’ve been waiting to feel okay for so long. You want a plan, a finish line, a fix.

But healing doesn’t happen on a schedule.

At Bloom, we don’t rush you. We don’t push for “closure.” We’re not here to help you get over it—we’re here to help you move through it.

Because some of the most sacred parts of therapy happen not in the quick solutions, but in the slow unfolding.

In the moment you say the unsayable.
In the pause after “I don’t know who I am anymore.”

Healing is not a checklist. It’s a return to yourself.
And we’re honored to walk beside you while you find your way.

We live in a society that tells us moms have to do everything—and do it all well. But the truth is: You don’t have to be perfect to be a great mom.

The moment you let go of the pressure to be perfect is the moment you give yourself permission to breathe. To rest. To show up as you are. And that’s when you’ll start to see the real magic in motherhood. It’s not in the flawless routines or curated moments—it’s in the messy, unfiltered, imperfect journey.

Giving yourself grace means acknowledging that:
🌱 You are enough even when your house is a mess.
🌱 You’re doing the best you can even when you feel overwhelmed.
🌱 Your worth isn’t tied to your productivity or your ability to keep it all together.

When you give yourself grace, you can release the guilt and focus on what matters—being present with your child and with yourself.

If you’re struggling with guilt or exhaustion, you don’t have to face it alone. Let’s talk about how to build more grace into your motherhood experience.

The guilt after putting your feet up.
The buzzing brain during naps or downtime.
The pressure to clean, email, text, fold, plan, do.

But here’s the truth: rest is not a reward. It’s a requirement.

Especially for nervous systems that have been living in survival mode for far too long.

So if rest feels hard—it’s not because you’re lazy.
It’s because your body and brain have been trained to fear slowing down.

That’s something we can unlearn.
That’s something therapy can hold.

You are allowed to rest without guilt.

Postpartum anxiety often hides behind the phrase “I’m just being careful.”

If you’re constantly checking, monitoring, scanning, or feeling on edge—your body may be signalling that it needs support.

With the right help, your nervous system can come back down.

Bloom Psychotherapy has a team of perinatal mental health specialists offering virtual therapy across Canada.

Symptoms can include:

Constant worry, often about worst-case scenarios

Trouble sleeping—even when baby is asleep

Feeling emotionally raw or detached

Panic attacks, nausea, or racing heartbeat

Intrusive thoughts that feel scary or shameful

These aren’t signs of failure. They’re signs your nervous system is overwhelmed. And they are treatable.

What can help:
🧠 Grounding practices like deep breathing, cold water, or naming 5 things you see/hear/feel right now
🫶 Talking to someone trained in perinatal mental health who won’t dismiss your fears
🪞 Remembering that scary thoughts don’t make you a bad parent. They make you human.
🧘 Giving yourself permission to rest, even when everything’s not “done”

Postpartum is not one-size-fits-all. You deserve care that meets you where you are.

As your kids grow, you may notice that finding time for intimacy becomes harder and harder. It’s easy to feel like there’s just no space for you and your partner anymore, and that the focus has shifted entirely to your children. Whether your kids are babies or toddlers, it’s normal for your sense of intimacy to evolve.

However, nurturing a healthy relationship with your partner is essential—for both your mental well-being and your relationship. Here are a few things to consider:

Quality over quantity: It’s not about how often, but about connecting in meaningful ways—whether through small gestures, conversations, or yes, even s*x.

Intimacy doesn’t have to be just physical: Sometimes intimacy is about emotional connection, holding hands, or simply sharing space together.

Setting boundaries: As parents, it’s essential to create a safe and sacred space for you and your partner. This might mean being creative about when and where you make time for each other.

This is a season, and your intimacy will shift with it. If you feel like your relationship with your partner is struggling in this area, therapy can offer a safe space to explore these feelings and find solutions. You’re not alone in this, and it’s okay to ask for help.
