Focus on perinatal mental health, anxiety, eating disorders
As a perinatal mental health therapist, I see how often this journey turns control into a coping strategy.
The calendar gets micromanaged.
Every variable feels high-stakes.
Not because you’re rigid, but because uncertainty has been so heavy for so long.
If this is you, nothing is “wrong” with you.
Your nervous system is just trying to protect your hope.
And part of the work we do together is learning when planning helps…
and when gently loosening control can bring relief.

In January I’m cold & missing my family from the holidays. AND I’m feeling grateful for these little things that have brought me joy and softened the edges of winter.
My clients with anxiety have an especially hard time with this one and what might happen if they set the boundaries that they need.
So to be clear :
👉Aside from the other parent, nobody has “a right” to see your baby immediately.
🚫You can have visitors. Or not.
⏱️You can limit the length of visits.
❤️You can do what’s best for you, your mental and physical health, and your family.
That is all. 🫶
