Taking a departure from our normal interview with loss mamas, we invited Emily Morehead, a Licensed Professional Counselor & co-owner of The Couch Therapy to educate us on all things mental health. We talk about how to find a therapist, what to expect during your first appointment, the different types of therapy and how to establish whether they are a good fit for your personality and mental health goals. In this episode, you'll walk away empowered to start your own mental health journey. We also dive into postpartum grief, how to establish boundaries, the concept of suffering vs. pain, and self-care for bereaved parents. The resources that Emily shares are plentiful, so we've included all of them in the show notes below. We are so grateful for her dedication to providing excellent care for grieving mamas!
