Filled with journaling prompts and exercises to support new and seasoned moms. Written by two therapists, this book includes therapeutic tips and exercises from the fields of mindfulness, CBT, somatic psychology, relational therapy and EMDR. THIS is the must-have book for modern moms! Normalizing everything you deal with as a mom — the good, the bad, and the truth. As a society, we don’t talk enough about the complex feelings and challenges that often plague mothers during the postpartum period—and beyond. This lack of discourse can make new mothers feel alienated, insecure, or like what they’re experiencing is abnormal, when in reality, it’s completely normal! This is a refreshingly candid resource jam-packed with expert insights and real stories of motherhood from psychologists Chelsea Bodie and Caitlin Slavens (aka the @mamapsychologists).
