#87 | Postpartum Rage: The Outburst-Guilt-Shame Cycle

Postpartum rage is among the lesser known perinatal mood and anxiety disorders that can impact  postpartum women and even their partners. Unfortunately, what women don’t understand is that sometimes anger comes more easily than tears, and it doesn’t mean that anything is fundamentally wrong with them or with their character; but rather, they are suffering from one particular manifestation of postpartum depression or anxiety.  Postpartum rage can look like: snapping at your children or partner, yelling more than usual, swearing, or even throwing things across the room. Any type of unexpected, intense outburst can signal a one-time or ongoing case of postpartum rage.  Tune in today as Cynthia and Trisha discuss the risk factors, triggers, emotional experience, and possible solutions for postpartum rage. Postpartum Support InternationalCall the PSI HelpLine: 1-800-944-4773* * * * * * * * * *Send us Fan MailNeeded <-- this link for 20% off your orderDrinkLMNT <--  this link for FREE 8-day supplyPrimally Pure Skincare: Use code DOWNTOBIRTH for 10% off Postpartum Soothe: Organic herbal padsicles for healing.
