Today on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are talking about all things postpartum! The episode begins with Jen interviewing Em about her postpartum experience through listener questions. Emmalee shares her firsthand and vulnerable perspective on the transition into motherhood, and gives her insight into listener experiences. They are then joined by the wonderful Erica Djossa, fellow therapist and host of the Momwell Podcast, to answer two listener questions in depth, one about postpartum rage and the second, about the difference between postpartum anxiety and baseline worrying. Emmalee, Jen, and Erica discuss postpartum in COVID, societal expectations of mothers, intrusive thoughts, the “perfect mother myth,” and so much more! Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!
