Joining me for a 2 part mental health series is guest Louisa Mason.
Louisa is a perinatal child and family psychologist. She's also a Mum to 2 boys. She specialises in perinatal anxiety and mood, attachment and bonding and emotions in motherhood. Louisa talks about the challenges and wonders of being a Mum. She normalises that Motherhood is amazing but insanely hard at the same time. The constraint, burnout, guilt, feelings of wanting to escape, frustration, rage, anxiety, overstimulation, intrusive thoughts and relentlessness of early motherhood.
I love that she normalises that if you are finding it hard - you aren't doing it wrong, it's simply because it is HARD.
What did discussed:
- What are you referring to when you mention a ‘rupture’
- Can you provide some examples of repair and why is this important?
- Are we damaging our bond with our little ones when we experience a rupture?
