We are kicking off a new series this season: "Holding Space through the Complicated" and who better to usher in a mindset shift around holding space than 2 therapists? Join us in conversation with Allison Lieberman & Yvette Osorio of Rooted Harmony Counseling as we discuss supporting clients and loved ones with postpartum transition and PMADs-perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
We are talking about:
~holding space for vs "fixing" an issue
~recognizing and supporting postpartum parents with mental health concerns
~COVID-19 and the pandemic's impact on postpartum mental health
~stigma in seeking mental health resources
~the importance of culturally congruent therapists for BIPOC
~changing how we talk about treatment and medications for PMADs in comparison to other medical concerns
~dropping the "supermom" narrative
