In this episode, I talk with Chiara, a spiritual coach and mom who struggled with postpartum depression and anxiety. We talk about ..
– how postpartum depression and anxiety showed up for her, including not enjoying being pregnant, experiencing a traumatic delivery, and not bonding with her baby
– her experience with intrusive thoughts as well as panic attacks and difficulty being alone with her baby
– her recommendations for sitting with uncomfortable emotions, not distracting, not engaging with anxiety producing or depressing thoughts, and how to reinterpret difficult times in motherhood
