Episode 24: 8 Things That Would Have Saved Our Clients SO Much Stress

Many people wait to seek help—whether it’s pelvic floor PT or couples therapy—until things feel so “catastrophically bad” they can’t ignore them anymore. But by then, you’re not just dealing with a symptom or a disagreement,you’re dealing with months (or years) of built-up stress and a life that’s been reshaped around the problem instead of addressing it. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca and Dr. Alex share what they wish their clients knew sooner, and what could have saved them time, money, and a lot of unnecessary stress. They also get personal, from Dr. Rebecca being told “there’s nothing we can do” about her postpartum diastasis recti; to navigating “inner child” moments; to what it realistically looks like to “stay regulated” when you’re just really %$^&ing angry.This discussion is about what's possible when you finally have the right information, and the right support.What you'll learn:“Holistic” care isn't "crunchy" or "woo" - your symptoms often make more sense when you look at the whole body.“Staying regulated" isn’t the same thing as suppressing your feelings.The difference between “weather vs. climate” in relationships (and why it matters more than the fight itself)Tune in if you’ve ever thought:"I've seen multiple doctors and they all say I'm 'fine,' so what am I supposed to do now?”“We’re not in a crisis, but I’m tired of the constant bickering and snarky comments at home."“Is this something I just have to live with now?”Helpful resources:Find a pelvic floor PT near you: pelvicrehab.com or Pelvic Global DirectoryParents in Love: A Guide to Great Sex After Kids by Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy Secure Love: Create a Relationship That Lasts a Lifetime by Julie Menanno - attachment-based approach to relationshipsThe Fair Play Deck: A Couple's Conversation Deck for Prioritizing What's Important – a tool to help couples divide responsibilities and reduce mental loadConnect with us:Dr. Rebecca Howard EudyWebsite: rebeccaeudy.comInstagram: @rebeccahowardeudyNewsletter: Parents in Love SubstackDr. Alexandra DiGradoWebsite: bostonpelvicpt.comInstagram: @bostonpelvicptNewsletter: Under the HoodUnder the Hood PodcastInstagram: @underthehooddocsWebsite: underthehoodpod.com
