"Why am I so angry?:" Perinatal rage in motherhood

Motherhood can be a time of great joy and love; yet it is not uncommon for feelings of irritability and rage to set in either during pregnancy or during those postpartum months and beyond.  

On this episode, I welcome Ashurina Ream-a licensed clinical psychologist, mom, and founder of Psyched Mommy. She joins me to discuss: 

• What is perinatal rage and why can it happen
• How to recognize you need support
• How to communicate your needs with loved ones including your partner
