Tale of Two Rookie Moms

By Holly Brown, LMFT

“I never used to be this anxious of a person,” my client said.  “At least, I don’t think I was.”

She was in her early forties, a stay-home mom, surprised to find that she couldn’t entirely remember her earlier self.  She was that person not very long ago, after all, her baby being only six months old.

“New motherhood can feel like a vortex,” I said.  I had only emerged from it myself two months prior, when I returned to work part-time.
