Hold The Mother is a Maternal Mental Health podcast hosted by me, Laura Hans, a Therapist for Mums. My mission is for all mothers to feel deeply supported and held because I believe prioritising our own mental health is one of the best things we can do as parents, not only because we deserve to experience emotional wellness, but also to reduce the impact of our problems on our children. Thank you for joining me on this wild journey of motherhood!

Trauma and the Need for Rest Explained
In this podcast episode, I explain why you may find it hard to rest if you have experienced trauma, particularly if the trauma occurred in your early life.
I explore with you three reasons why you may struggle to rest and suggest a strategy I use myself when my own inner critic voices get in the way of my own rest.
I hope you enjoy the episode!

Postpartum Anxiety Explained
In this podcast episode, I talk more about postpartum anxiety and how it affects your thoughts, emotions, body and behaviour. Around 15% of new mums experience a significant anxiety problem during pregnancy and up to the first year postnatally. So if you can relate, you're not alone.
I delve into how anxiety is something we need to keep us safe, but how perceived threat can trigger your anxiety even in situations where there is no real threat.
The episode very briefly references intrusive thoughts - listen to my previous episode for a more in depth overview Intrusive Thoughts In Parenthood Podcast Episode (https://laurahanstherapy.co.uk/podcast/intrusive-thoughts-in-parenthood-2/)
