Therapy for Moms in Pasadena
A dedicated space to return to you.
The journey through motherhood is a messy and magical ride.
Whoever called it “settling down” must not have had kids. Because choosing to start a family, trying to conceive, or navigating the many years of tantrums, lunches, heartbreaks, and more does nothing less than completely unsettle the former ground beneath you.
Parenthood can bring some of the highest high’s and lowest low’s you may have experienced — but often in some of the most internal and invisible ways.
Maybe you’ve found:
You just don’t feel like yourself anymore. You feel like you’ve lost yourself and can hardly remember who you were before kids.
You judge yourself for not being able to do it all like everyone else. The mom guilt is real.
Your relationship isn’t what it used to be. You have unresolved anger, resentment, or distance growing between the two of you.
You feel totally depleted and don’t have support. The stress is driving you into a state of overdrive or maybe even collapse.
You don’t feel like anyone truly “gets it.” It feels like death by a thousand paper cuts, but you can’t seem to explain or justify your experience to yourself or others in your life.
Past issues related to your own childhood or family is rising back up and you don’t know what to do with it.
“In this gentle undoing, the mystery of motherhood stretches before you — not to be solved, but to be lived.”
-Chelsey Scaffidi, The Mother Year
