For many women, motherhood can be very different from how they expected it would be. The adjustment can lead to intense anxiety and feelings of self-doubt.

🤰 With changes to mind, body, relationships and routine, it’s no wonder that new moms are susceptible to mental and emotional health difficulties during this time.

After all,

You’re taking care of baby👩‍🍼.
Who’s taking care of you? 🤷‍♀️

👉 Here are some quick reality-check tips for moms:

1. Acknowledge that you’re in a challenging situation and a demanding role right now facing obstacles such as lack of sleep, a chaotic routine, cultural pressure, and social isolation. Doubts and fears are normal. Give yourself a bit of grace and expect some struggles and a lot of learning and growth.

2. Ask for help.
Most friends and family want to help, they may just not know how. So tell them what you need and be specific. Don’t be afraid to sound “selfish.” This is for everyone’s benefit!

3. Don’t compare yourself with other people’s Instagram moments. That’s not realistic or fair to you or your baby. This moment is about you… not them!

4. Take care of yourself: Give yourself permission to dedicate some regular time to self-care activities.

5. Consider therapy: Having a dedicated safe space to process all of the changes, talk through intense feelings, and build healthier thought patterns and coping skills can be an effective way to stay on top of your mental health.

6. Know the signs of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety and postpartum psychosis, and don’t wait to get help.

Taking care of your wellbeing is a bit like ensuring your own oxygen mask is still on so that you can continue to assist your child. 🛩️

So give yourself permission to dedicate some regular time to self-care activities.

And remember that
- This is temporary.
- You’re not alone.
- Help is available.
- You will make it.

For many women, motherhood can be very different from how they expected it would be. The adjustment can lead to intense anxiety and feelings of self-doubt.

🤰 With changes to mind, body, relationships and routine, it’s no wonder that new moms are susceptible to mental and emotional health difficulties during this time.

After all,

You’re taking care of baby👩‍🍼.
Who’s taking care of you? 🤷‍♀️

⚠️ It’s important to acknowledge that there are compounding factors of being a new mom:
- You’re not getting enough sleep.
- Your routine is chaotic.
- You’re under a lot of intense social and cultural pressure.
- Your sense of identity is shifting.
- You may suddenly feel socially isolated.
👉 Here are some quick reality-check tips to help moms make it through this challenging time:

1. Acknowledge that you’re in a challenging situation and a demanding role right now. Doubts and fears are normal. Give yourself a bit of grace and expect some struggles and a lot of learning and growth.

2. Ask for help.
Most friends and family want to help, they may just not know how. So tell them what you need and be specific. Don’t be afraid to sound “selfish.” This is for everyone’s benefit!

4. Take care of yourself: Give yourself permission to dedicate some regular time to self-care activities.

5. Consider therapy: Having a dedicated safe space to process all of the changes, talk through intense feelings, and build healthier thought patterns and coping skills can be an effective way to stay on top of your mental health and reduce the risk of things spiraling out of control. Many therapists offer in-person sessions with the option to switch to virtual on days when that’s more convenient to stay at home.

6. Know the signs of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety and postpartum psychosis, and don’t wait to get help.

🛫 Remember the safety presentations on airplanes?

Taking care of your wellbeing is a bit like ensuring your own oxygen mask is still on so that you can continue to assist your child. 🛩️

And if you run out of air, you won’t be able to keep meeting your baby’s needs. That’s not going to help anybody.

So give yourself permission to dedicate some regular time to self-care activities.

Overall, remember that
- This is temporary.
- You’re not alone.
- Help is available.
- You will make it.

What should quality therapy be like? 🤷‍♂️

⭐️ The most effective therapy is or  .

A counselor connects with the client and tailors their approach to fit each client’s unique needs, goals, values, personality, core beliefs and situation. ❄️

The process is collaborative — clients are empowered and involved in the direction of therapy, allowing it to remain agile to adjust to evolving needs and changing situations. 🔀

This is in contrast to what’s called “cookie-cutter therapy” which takes more of a one-size-fits-all approach. 🍪

Individuals who have experienced both “cookie-cutter therapy” and personalized therapy can attest to the difference in how it makes them feel and the benefit they get from their sessions.
