Being a parent is tougher than you expected. That’s ok, you are not alone. I am here to help.
So much changes when we become dads and parents and it can leave us feeling a little lost and unsure of ourselves and how we fit in. Baby takes a lot of time, energy and attention – whether planning for the baby registry, adjusting to the sleep deprivation, or trying to figure out our place as baby spends the most time with mom.
Dads and partners sometimes describe their experience in early fatherhood as feeling like they have faded into the background and don’t quite feel like they know where they belong. Does this sound like you too?
We love our babies and kiddos, but we don’t always love parenthood. That’s ok.
1 in 10 dads and partners also experience postpartum depression, along with other postpartum mental health disorders such as postpartum anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a traumatic birth experience.
You deserve support. I’m here to help with online therapy for dads and partners in Southlake, Texas and those living anywhere in the state of Texas or Florida.
There is no shame in seeking help. You deserve to enjoy being a parent, not just survive it.
