14. Sara Fernandes: Postpartum psychosis | Recovery from postnatal depression | Therapy for mums


Listen Later

This week I’m chatting to Sara Fernandes from only human therapy. This episode comes with a trigger warning as Sara talks in depth about her experience of postpartum psychosis and admission to a mother and baby unit.

I also wanted to mention a conversation we have towards the end of the episode where Sara talks about weaning herself off her medication herself. Sara felt this was he right approach and it worked for her. However, I wanted to share that I’d always recommend for you to reduce any medication with the support of a doctor.

One final warning; we had some connectivity issues and there is a bit of distortion on the audio during the episode but I hope you can sit with it as this episode is well worth a listen!

Before we start I wanted to share with you about my new self care toolkit for mums. It’s designed for mums who are feeling stressed out and overwhelmed with motherhood and there are techniques and tools to help you take care of your needs.

The toolkit includes a self care audit so you can get an idea of where you currently are with your self care and where you may need to make changes. It’s got suggestions for quick self care activities you can carry out each day, a weekly self care planner, links to self care resources and there’s also a Facebook group included to help keep you accountable. All this for £4.99. Grab a copy here.  


Give it to me now!
