#11 What Was It Like to Struggle with Postnatal Depression as a New Mum? From the Come To Therapy With Me Podcast

from The Baby Playbook · host Nikolina Koevska Kharoufeh

🌸 My Journey with Postnatal Depression: A New Mum’s Experience with Therapy 🌸In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my experience as a new mum dealing with postnatal depression. I sit down with a therapist to discuss the emotional and mental challenges I faced during the postpartum period, how postnatal depression impacted my daily life, and the importance of reaching out for support.Just before my second Leo was born I participated in a little experiment. A Nine podcast called Come To Therapy With Me. The podcast documented eight weeks of therapy I undertook, dealing with my anxiety around post natal blues coming around again… and the other fears I had during this time. My first session was incredibly emotional. I hadn’t realised just how affected I still was, 18 months on from my experience with Noah. So this week I want to share that session with you, to bring you into the emotions of that time and just how helpful therapy was for me. This episode discusses postnatal depression. If you or anyone you know needs support, call Lifeline 131 114, or Beyond Blue 1800 512 348.In an emergency dial 000.LINKS: Listen to the full Come To Therapy With Me series wherever you get your podcasts from: https://www.nineforbrands.com.au/media-release/come-to-therapy-with-me-all-new-from-9-podcasts/ Follow Nikolina Koevska Kharoufeh here: https://www.instagram.com/heynikolinak/?hl=enSubscribe to the mailing list for more INFO: https://heynikolinak.co/Join our private FB page to share and request advice from fellow parents: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1615190698987282 Grab a copy of My Mummy Loves Fudge (your favourite children’s book!): https://heynikolinak.co/b/mymummylovesfudge #PostnatalDepression #PostpartumBlues #PPD #MentalHealthMatters #MaternalMentalHealth #NewMomStruggles #PostpartumCare #YouAreNotAlone #MentalHealthSupport #NewMomMentalHealth #HealingJourney #MomSupport #BreakTheStigma #PostpartumSupport #ParentingPodcast
