Postpartum depression (PPD) is a complex and often debilitating condition that can affect new mothers after childbirth. It goes beyond the typical "baby blues" and can manifest as persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, and fatigue. Women experiencing PPD may struggle with bonding with their newborn, leading to feelings of guilt and inadequacy. Understanding that these feelings are common and treatable is essential for recovery.In our therapy practice, we focus on creating a supportive environment where mothers can openly discuss their experiences and feelings. Through talk therapy, we help clients process their emotions and develop coping strategies to manage their symptoms. We also incorporate skill-building techniques, such as mindfulness and stress-reduction practices, to empower mothers in their journey towards healing and improved mental well-being.
