The first year of motherhood is often a time brimming with frustration, and sometimes resentment. New mothers feel that their needs are not understood, and they fear being judged for feeling overwhelmed. They struggle to find balance because they don’t know how to communicate their feelings to those around them. They crave support and a break from the endless cycle of feeding, diapering, bathing, playing, and keeping the baby safe.
But mothers rarely expressed their pain, often because they didn’t know how or believe it would be understood. For example: “People don’t understand what I’m going through. It seems like all anyone cares about is the baby. Nobody asks me how
New mothers are so overwhelmed by stress that their own needs often get lost in the first year. In short, their needs are left unmet.
New mothers are tired, anxious and highly stressed. They long for someone to listen to them and show compassion. Unfortunately, new mothers report they get little to no support from anyone around them, especially their husbands.
Being a new mother is one of the most challenging roles a woman will ever “mother”. She will have feelings that she has never had before and body changes she doesn’t understand or like.
This course helps new mothers learn how to communicate effectively with their husbands to help ease some of the stress and demands associated with the first year being a mom. This course includes an online component that teaches new mothers how to set boundaries and manage expectations so they can get more done, repair strained relationships, and develop healthier ways of coping.
