We are glad to share that we will be attending the @PostpartumHelp. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet and network with others in the maternal mental health field even as we seem to scale up #ElimishaMama

When I first heard this quote I remember how much it resonated.

It somehow captures the intrinsic complexity of motherhood. The exhaustion, challenge, confusion & flux of emotions with the deep shift, the miraculous nature of it all & the profound love. X

Joining @PostpartumHelp 2021 conference virtually. Always a fantastic chance to meet and learn with others in the perinatal field. We look forward to the 2-day training today and tomorrow.

Peer support in the perinatal period creates connection - make people feel 'seen' & 'heard'. This, in our experience is particularly important because it validates what one feels at a most vulnerable time of life - pregnancy & postpartum.

On Peer Support, @BrittGeorge1 shares 3 principles of peer support:
1. learning & Growing
2. caring for rel'ships
3. hope-based rel'ships

Part of Peer Support recognizes that rel'ships are built through trust over a period of time.

Presently listening to Emily Soulder on The Healing Power of Birth Story Processing.

🤰 - Birth is not just physical; it's spiritual, psychological.
🤰 - Birth Story Processing involves remembering, sharing the story, feeling and shifting how we think about the birth event

I Used The ‘Heartbeat Hug’ To Calm Tantrums — And It Still Works With My Teen

I learned this from a new friend who was a psychologist. She told me about how she hugged her children when they were upset rather than scolding or trying to reason with them.
