Beyond "How Can I Help?": Real Support for Postpartum Anxiety | Dr. Emily Limas


Listen Later

This week's episode features an important conversation with Dr. Emily Limas, a licensed psychologist who specializes in perinatal mental health. 

Dr. Limas provides valuable insights into postpartum anxiety and offers practical strategies for loved ones to provide meaningful support. We discuss the challenges of decision fatigue and emphasize the importance of creating a supportive environment that destigmatizes the need for help.

I also share my personal journey, detailing a five-year battle with undiagnosed postpartum anxiety. I recount the frustration of receiving countless misdiagnoses and having my symptoms dismissed, as well as the eventual discovery of the true source of my struggles. I reveal the emotional toll of navigating motherhood while dealing with anxiety and how finding the right support ultimately allowed me to reclaim my well-being. 

Ultimately, this episode aims to empower you to become a better ally. We strive to transform the understanding of postpartum mental health and ensure that no parent feels alone. Learn how to recognize the signs of postpartum anxiety, offer practical help, and dismantle the barriers that prevent new parents from asking for and receiving the support they need
