When Autumn Comes: Seasons of Hope for Medical + Disability Moms13 Nov 2024

Momma's Oxygen Mask | Therapy for the Medical Mom

We all know the analogy about riding in an airplane. When the oxygen masks fall down, you put your mask on first before helping those around you. In medical parenthood, how do you put your own needs ahead of the significant needs of your child? We aren't talking about making sure the laundry is clean here…Self care for medical moms often looks like taking care of basic daily needs for themselves, showering or brushing your teeth.

Today, Suz and Katrina talk about Therapy. They discuss the ups and downs of finding the best fit in a therapist, the ups and downs of therapy itself, and deciding that you are important enough to invest in.

"You have to unlearn this inner dialogue that you aren't good enough." -Suz

Being vulnerable is so so hard. Investing in ourself is so very worth it. Do you have experiences with therapy you'd like to share?
