As a perinatal mental health therapist, I see how often this journey turns control into a coping strategy.
The calendar gets micromanaged.
Every variable feels high-stakes.
Not because you’re rigid, but because uncertainty has been so heavy for so long.
If this is you, nothing is “wrong” with you.
Your nervous system is just trying to protect your hope.
And part of the work we do together is learning when planning helps…
and when gently loosening control can bring relief.
