Therapy can help with managing overwhelm, self-criticism, and coping with uncertainty.Dr Jen, the Psychology Haven
Becoming a parent is a huge transition, and one that we may not be fully prepared for.
It is a time of many positive emotions but can also bring difficult and intense feelings as you navigate the changes in your relationships and your developing identity as a parent, whilst managing the impact of sleep deprivation, increased anxiety or a dip in mood.
There can be a pressure to know what you’re doing, with many potential sources of comparison or guilt to contend with.
Therapy can help with managing overwhelm, self-criticism, and coping with uncertainty.
It can be a space for thinking about how to meet your own needs alongside caring for your baby.
