Parenting Austin: New mom anxiety, new mom depression, & adjusting to motherhood
Motherhood
You knew having a baby was going to change your life, but this is more adjustment than you had expected. You feel like you can’t do anything you want to do anymore; every minute revolves around the baby. Even going back to work is up in the air because paying for the baby to go to daycare costs so much.
Life used to be engaging and interesting and now you are just trying to make it from feeding to feeding with barely time to think about anything captivating. The days are running together and this is just not how it was supposed to be. Not how you thought your days would go once the baby you longed for, waited for, tried so hard for is finally here.
Finally, you are overwhelmed and start searching the internet to find out when this will get better but all you find are stories of other moms who are madly in love with their baby and their life at home caring for the baby. You need to find someone who will help you find yourself again while also navigating the adjustment to motherhood.
My name is Cheryl, and I provide online therapy throughout Colorado, Illinois and Texas.
Cheryl Reeley LCSW-S, MS, PMH-C providing online postpartum therapy
I help women who are struggling during the transition to motherhood. I listen as women talk about the loss of their sense of self and their bodies after childbirth. My clients are able to talk about their feelings of guilt and shame without fear that they will be judged. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Cognitive Processing therapy which allows my clients to work with their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. My therapy style is very fluid and I aim to meet my clients where they are at that moment. Clients often feel a sense of relief after their first session just knowing that they have found someone to talk to openly about this experience.
