THERAPY FOR MOTHERHOOD
Nobody tells you that becoming a mother can feel like losing yourself.
You prepared for the baby. You read the books, set up the nursery, took the classes. What nobody prepared you for was the identity shift. The strange disorientation of looking in the mirror and not quite recognizing the person looking back.
Who you were before motherhood doesn't just pause and wait for you. The relationship with your partner changes. Your sense of yourself changes. The things that used to define you — your career, your independence, your body, your friendships — all of it looks different now.
This isn’t a sign you made a mistake. It's one of the most profound transitions a person can go through. It even has a name: matrescence. And it deserves more support than most women get.
YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE THIS IF...
You love your baby and also grieve the life you had before
You feel like you've lost your sense of self since becoming a mom
Your relationship with your partner feels strained in ways you didn't anticipate
You're struggling with the gap between the mom you thought you'd be and the one you are
You feel guilty for missing your old life
You're not sure who you are outside of being someone's mother anymore
HOW THERAPY CAN HELP
This transition deserves more than "it gets easier"
Adjustment to motherhood work is some of the most meaningful therapy I do. We make space for the grief, the ambivalence, the identity questions that don't have easy answers.
We also work on the practical stuff: the relationship strain, the invisible load, the resentment that builds when you're giving more than you're getting. All of it is worth talking about.
You don't have to have a diagnosis to deserve support. Feeling lost is enough.
