5 Things We Want You To Know As Perinatal Therapists
Ever wonder what your therapist is thinking? Here are some things we want you to know:
When you tell us about how hard pregnancy, postpartum, or parenting, we never ever think that means you don’t love your kids to pieces.
When you tell us about difficult parenting moments, we are not judging you as a parent. We know how hard parenting is and our priority is helping you feel better so you can parent the way you wish. We are imperfect parents too.
We know how important a good fit between client and therapist is. therapy does not always feel easy, but you should feel safe and supported. If it doesn’t feel like a good fit, make a change. Please don’t worry about your therapist’s feelings. We want you to get the care that you need even if it is not with us.
You are worthy of highly quality therapy regardless of the severity of your symptoms or level of trauma. clients often feel that they don’t deserve therapy because they “don’t have it as bad” as other people. Please know that we never think this way and we are happy to help anyone who wants support.
We really care about you. It’s more than a job to us. Many perinatal therapists were drawn to the field because of our own lived experiences. We do not think that we have all the answers and we will not judge you. We want you to know that you are not alone.
