Postpartum physiology is extreme by design, everything from sleep disruption and hormonal shifts and all the way to heightened neuroplasticity.
It requires containment, support, and low demand. In California, new moms face high output expectations, isolation, and pressure to return to productivity immediately.
The nervous system responds, and symptoms like overwhelm, anxiety, rage, or disconnection appear not as pathology, but as signals of overload.
When safety, support, rest, and connection increase, mom and baby stabilize. Postpartum doesn’t need fixing, it needs buffering.
