An honour to be invited on @BBCWomansHour today to speak about attachment trauma, thank you for having me. If you’re struggling with difficult feelings, please speak to a loved one & your GP for further support.

Did you grow up feeling unwanted by your parents, or perhaps you found yourself in a situation where you were having a baby you didn’t want? @JessCreighton1 discusses the issue with @_DrBoyd and Tammy Davidson

"Asking for help is not a sign that you’re a failure or a ‘bad’ mum. It shows you’re committed to improving things for you and your baby."

Delighted to comment on this piece focusing on Kate's vital Early Years work @jomacfarlane

Loved speaking at the brilliant #BirthTrauma2020 conference this week. Making connections & sharing my findings on intrusive, unwanted harm thoughts about the baby. So common yet taboo. More info on IG (@_DrBoyd) to help mums feel less alone #intrusivethoughts @birth_better

How do new/recent mothers experience unwanted thoughts of harm related to their newborn?

New research - fears of being judged 'mad', 'bad' or 'dangerous' mean women don't talk about these thoughts. We need to help mums feel more ok to talk about them.

@DoctorDot2 Hi Louise, thank you - yes in press. Be delighted to share the paper, I'll send it over to you. Great to connect.

Really enjoyed presenting at #SRIP2019. Looking forward to getting the messages out about my doctoral research on unwanted harm thoughts about the baby (in press). So common but little discussed due to stigma. #psychologist #maternalmentalhealth #intrusivethoughts
