    November 7, 2018

    As part of a Pregnancy and Infant loss training I’m currently participating in, I’ve been instructed/assigned/challenged to read three books about grief, loss, and bereavement and write a summary.  (Really, this is just giving me the accountability and motivation to follow through on reading these books, since they were already on my to-read list!)

    October 23, 2018

    The field of maternal mental health encompasses the many stages of becoming a parent… family planning, conception, pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period.  Sadly, according to womenshealth.gov, as many as 10 to 15 percent of confirmed pregnancies are lost.  As October comes to a close, I wanted to take a few minutes to acknowledge Pregnancy […]

    Erin explains what brings her in for counseling:  “My anxiety has gone through the roof the past few months.  I just feel like I’m not where I should be in life. It feels like I’m letting everyone down; I’ll never live up to everyone’s expectations.  And on the flip side, I’m afraid people see me […]

    The Losses of Motherhood

    October 18, 2018

    When you’re expecting a baby, everyone talks about the positives… “It’s the greatest time in your life!  Motherhood is so rewarding!”  So why are you having such a hard time with this “magical” adjustment?  You’re feeling anxious and sad and sometimes (although you feel too guilty about this to ever admit it out loud) you […]

    Physical Self Care

    October 15, 2018

    Nancy, a registered nurse, describes a typical working day: “Taking care of the patients is always so hectic; I barely have time to go to the bathroom myself.  When I’m working a 12-hour shift, I’m lucky to get an hour break. Usually by the end of my shift my brain is fuzzy from my blood […]

    During a counseling session with Sarah, I listened as she reflected on a spiritual dry spell a few years earlier.  “I was leading a small group, I co-facilitated a Bible study, and I was on a leadership team for the young adult ministry at our church.  But somehow I still felt empty spiritually. I finally […]
