Ryan Flash, a Twin Cities therapist specializing in working with dads, discusses the unique challenges fathers face in adjusting to parenthood and the importance of seeking support. He highlights the lack of resources for dads compared to moms and emphasizes that men are increasingly seeking therapy to become better fathers and partners.

Ryan's practice, Discovery Mental Health, offers individual therapy and a group program called Launchpad Dads, designed to help fathers navigate the emotional and practical aspects of parenthood. He stresses the importance of dads doing their own research and building community with other fathers. He also discusses common issues dads face, such as postpartum depression and anxiety, and how therapy can help them understand and manage their emotions, ultimately leading to a stronger family unit.

Join me and repeat guest, Sarah as she shares her birth experience with her singleton. Months back Sarah shared her twin birth story (https://mom2mompodcast.buzzsprout.com/2077791/13212755-twin-mama-opts-for-a-surgical-birth-to-bring-her-babies-earth-side-safely) but we had to have her back to share what it was like to go into preterm labor with her first baby, and just how different that experience was.
