Postpartum Counselling
Do you ever feel that being a parent is not what you expected?

Are you feeling overwhelmed or question whether you are a good enough mom? Maybe you sometimes wonder whether you should have had a baby in the first place. Do you struggle with feelings of guilt by not having yet bonded with your child? Do you think about what life was like before baby and are preoccupied by the intense feeling of loss of your old self?
Maybe you struggle more with racing thoughts that you can't shake off. You try very hard but you can't relax. Do you fear that something bad is going to happen to you or your baby? You constantly worry throughout the day whether you are doing this parenting thing right. Perhaps you are experiencing physical symptoms such as stomach aches, headaches, nausea or panic attacks.
You know that something is wrong but you don't know where to turn for help for fear that you will be judged or seen as a failure.
Living With Postpartum Depression And Anxiety
Living with postpartum depression or anxiety can be a lonely, isolating and painful experience. It may feel like no other parent you know is struggling with the feelings of guilt, loss or fear. You may have distanced yourselves from family and friends. Your sleeping and eating patterns may have changed and every day may feel like a struggle from the moment you wake up. You feel hopeless that things will never get better.
Postpartum Depression And Anxiety Is More Common Than You Think
You are not alone. Approximately 10-15% of mothers are affected by postpartum depression and anxiety (WHO). First-time moms aren't the only ones at risk. It can also affect mothers who have already had children as well as adoptive moms. Even partners and dads can also experience postpartum depression.
The good news is that while many parents struggle with postpartum depression and anxiety, there is hope that you can free yourself from its pain. With the help from a skilled therapist, you can improve your mood, rid yourself of guilt and start enjoying the adventure that is parenthood.
