Listen Later

I am doing a podcast swap in today’s episode. Laura Froyen and I sat down and talked about the things that don’t get talked about enough regarding perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. This episode is going to air both here and on Laura’s show, The Balanced Parent podcast. 

Dr. Laura Froyen has her PhD in Human Development and Family Studies with a specialization in Couple and Family Therapy. Laura combines trauma-informed practices with the latest in child development research to help families find more peace, calm, & connection. She teaches conscious parenting & communication with heaping doses of grace and compassion through her podcast, The Balanced Parent, & her courses and programs.

 In this episode we discuss: 

  • Rage as a symptom of a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder.
  • What parents can do outside of therapy for their mental health
  • The occurrence of Dad’s and partners getting postpartum depression and that their mental health struggles are often not focused on
  • Find a Postpartum Support International Support Group here
  • Check out Self-Compassion.org
