34. 4 Secrets of Postpartum Depression Therapy That Can Start Working at Your Next Appointment

Hi Mama,

• Have you ever left a therapy session feeling like you forgot to say the most important things?
• Do you wonder if therapy is actually helping—or if you're somehow doing it “wrong”?
• Are you looking for practical ways to feel more prepared and confident when you walk into your next postpartum depression therapy appointment?

In this episode, we're talking about four simple secrets that can help you get so much more out of your therapy sessions. I share part of my own story of struggling with postpartum depression and realizing that I was leaving therapy appointments wishing I had said more. You'll learn why writing things down can help when postpartum brain fog makes it difficult to remember your week, why telling your therapist the whole truth is so important, how asking questions can help you actually understand and practice the tools you're learning, and why so much of your healing can happen between therapy appointments as you put those tools into practice.

You've Got This Mama!

Love,

Stephanie
