THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN EAST NASHVILLE
What’s been going on?
Difficulty Postpartum
In the days, weeks, months after you welcomed your new baby into your home it has started to get hard. The meal train stopped, the flowers have wilted and sleep seems like a far away hope rather than a consistent reality (for anyone). You hoped and wished for this day to come, but you did not dream of the endless diaper changing, coaxing to sleep, and overall fatigue on you, your spouse, your pets and your relationship. Friends and family are helpful, but you need some real tools to get through this and admitting the hard parts feels most difficult. You’re feeling like things can and should be better, but are unsure how to get out of this rut where you’re behind and constantly worried about what’s around the corner. Anger, sadness, anxiety and intrusive thoughts can happen, but they’re not the end.
You’re not alone and you were never meant to go about this on your own either. Matrescence - the developmental phase of motherhood - is a life-changing experience and it will lead to your best, highest self. Let’s work together so you can start to feel the benefits of this newfound identity and rejoin with your joy!
Burnout
Are you doom scrolling and comparing your real life to the filtered lives of others? Does it seem like you’re missing out on what everyone is so happy about? Maybe your kids are stressing you out or you’re caring for your parents that weren't always kind or supportive of you. You’re running around trying to be the best provider, best partner, best friend, best colleague, best daughter, but you constantly feel behind the ball. Maybe you’re tallying up the “good deeds” you’ve done for others waiting for reciprocity.
However, there seems to be no end in sight since your responsibilities won’t just go away overnight. We don’t have elves that take care of our daily tasks while we’re asleep. You’ve realized the need to wave the white flag and ready for a vacation from the pressure. It is possible to feel better without holding resentment, guilt and burnout. Together we can help you feel confident and wake up without feeling bummed to start the day. Joy and fulfillment are possible again.
