Guided Postpartum Anxiety Relief

The baby is finally asleep and your heart is still pounding. You check the monitor again, a frightening picture flashes through your mind, and you lie there wired, wondering what kind of mother thinks things like this.

This audiobook is made to be listened to in those exact moments. It starts by telling you plainly that postpartum anxiety is one of the most common experiences after birth and that scary thoughts about your baby are a sign of a protective brain, not a dangerous one. In about twenty minutes it explains why that alarm learns to over-fire, then moves through the moments where it hits hardest: the night feed, leaving the house, and the hour when the baby sleeps and you cannot. Each short chapter walks you through a breathing or grounding technique by ear, with pauses built in, and a calm note on when it is worth talking to your midwife or doctor.

You will still hear the alarm sometimes. You will also know what it is and how to bring it down. Press play at the next 3 a.m. feed and let the voice sit with you.
