POSTPARTUM ANXIETY & OCD
When your thoughts feel frightening, overwhelming, or unlike you
Anxiety and intrusive thoughts can begin during pregnancy or after birth. The perinatal period—which includes both pregnancy and postpartum—can bring emotional experiences that feel overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to share with others. Together, we make sense of what’s happening so it feels less frightening, more understandable, and less isolating.
-
You feel a sudden wave of fear around your baby that doesn’t match how you actually feel
You find yourself avoiding certain situations, objects, or moments out of fear of your thoughts
You’re having thoughts that feel intrusive, unwanted, or hard to say out loud
You feel pulled between knowing the thoughts don’t reflect you and still feeling shaken by them
You feel alone in an experience that’s hard to name, let alone share
Perinatal and postpartum anxiety and OCD are not reflections of who you are—but of how your mind is responding to fear, responsibility, and the intensity of this transition. -
The nature of intrusive thoughts and why they feel so powerful
The underlying anxiety driving the cycle of fear and reassurance
The meaning this experience may hold within your emotional world
This is not about judging or eliminating thoughts—but about changing your relationship to them so they feel less threatening and more manageable. -
Intrusive thoughts begin to feel less frightening as you understand what they are—and what they are not
The cycle of anxiety, fear, and reassurance becomes more recognizable and less consuming
You feel less alone and more able to speak about what’s been difficult to hold internally
You begin to feel more grounded, steady, and like yourself again
