​
There is a common narrative that having a baby is supposed to be the most beautiful, joyful and magical time. While this can be true on so many different levels, it is also important to talk about the challenging emotions that come with the reality and responsibility of having a baby. Words like guilt, sadness, anxiety, grief can feel so heavy, but they do not have to be scary and create a doom and gloom situation. Talking openly and honestly about emotions around parenthood helps everyone.
This session is an outlet for you to be seen and heard. You can discuss any emotions on your mind and challenges that you are facing. This includes sorting through the range of emotions during pregnancy, sorting through baby blues and other postpartum mood disorders after childbirth, processing your birth experience, communication/expectations with family and friends, and any grief or loss that you may be experiencing during the transition into parenthood.
​
The goal of this session is to help identify and understand your emotions, and provide validation, reassurance and relevant resources for support and continued care.
