Motherhood can feel a lot harder than you expected.
You might be:
-Constantly thinking about what needs to be done
-Overstimulated or touched out by the end of the day
-More irritable or reactive than you used to be
-Wondering if anyone else feels the same way
On the outside, it might look like you're holding it together. On the inside, it feels like a lot.
You're not doing anything wrong. This transition is a lot.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I specialize in supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum and the shift into motherhood.
I've worked at UCLA's psychiatric hospital and perinatal mental health program and what stands out most is how many moms quietly feel like they're struggling more than they "should."

You don't need to have the right words or a clear explanation for how you're feeling. You don't have to hold it all together here. Therapy is a place where things can start to make more sense-where you can finally exhale a little.
