Can you relate?
As a mother, it feels like you are pouring into everyone else’s cup but your own. Most days you feel overwhelmed and profoundly tired, which can be a hallmark of postpartum depression. You feel desperate for connection, but perhaps anxiety makes it hard to reach out and communicate your needs. Worrying thoughts, a common symptom of postpartum anxiety, keep you up at night and add to the constant on-edge feeling you are experiencing. Perhaps a difficult birth or past trauma is also contributing to these overwhelming emotions. You know that you need a break, but the weight of perinatal mental health challenges leaves you feeling stuck in what seems like a never-ending cycle.
As a parent, you are noticing behavioral and emotional changes in your child, perhaps triggered by recent stress or even past trauma. Your child is having more meltdowns, or maybe they are having a hard time separating from you. These behavioral and mood swings are affecting other family members, and you might suspect underlying stress or unresolved experiences are contributing. You have brainstormed different solutions to address the issues you are witnessing, but feel uncertain about the root cause of these changes. You want what is best for your child, and you are unsure how to help them navigate the impact of stress or potential trauma.
As a teen, the pressure of school, friends, family, and constant change can feel overwhelming. If you've also experienced stressful or traumatic events, this can make it even harder to cope, leaving you feeling constantly drained. You look around and it seems like everyone else has it figured out while you're just trying to survive, and those past experiences might make it difficult to feel safe and secure now. You want to feel confident in your decisions, but anxiety and stress, potentially rooted in past difficulties, keep getting in the way.
