Five Local Resources for Moms
One of the things I focus on with moms in therapy is building and then regularly using their support system. What keeps moms from using their supports? I’ve heard moms say they worry about burdening others, or believe they “should” be able to do it on their own. These self-sabotaging beliefs are something we can dig into with therapy, but below are five local resources for moms that can help cushion the adjustment to motherhood and provide general support as well.
