22.01.2022 Why are we not surprised?! #whorulestheworld

21.01.2022 It’s really hard to do this sometimes but so amazing for kids to feel so understood

21.01.2022 #Repost @lbreggy Raise your hand if you didn’t know postpartum anxiety was a thing? ... I can honestly say, before I became educated on this diagnosis, I had never heard of it before! And now, after having an amazing postpartum experience the 2nd go around.um yeah, I’m pretty sure I had this with my first! (at least to some degree!) Sure, you hear about postpartum depression in the media, and your healthcare team talks to you A LOT about it upon discharge.... But guess what? Postpartum anxiety sometimes gets thrown to the wayside. OR gets grouped together as a form of postpartum depression. It’s true, you CAN exhibit symptoms of both, but many women who have true postpartum anxiety pass their depression scales. This is a scary, lonely diagnosis, and I, for one, want to do something about screening for this MUCH earlier! The symptoms of anxiety during pregnancy or postpartum might include: Constant worry Feeling that something bad is going to happen Racing thoughts Disturbances of sleep and appetite Inability to sit still Physical symptoms like dizziness, hot flashes and nausea If this sounds like you, please reach out for help! Talk to a provider, your partner, a friend or other family member as a first step in your treatment process. Remember that often times this is the hardest step!repost @mommy.labornurse Have any of you dealt with PPA?

20.01.2022 All the more reason to expose babies and children to cultures other than our own.

20.01.2022 Parenting is very triggering of our own histories of being parented.

18.01.2022 Merry Christmas all

18.01.2022 It’s not just you. Brains do this. Especially at Christmas.

16.01.2022 Such a life changing conversation here, you don’t have to be exactly like everyone else to be ok!

16.01.2022 Some food for thought. What would your child add?

16.01.2022 This kind of reframe also often helps us regulate in the face of big emotions

14.01.2022 Have to admit we have gotten well beyond 15 but completely agree with the point

14.01.2022 "Most of the medical and support staff we spoke to afterwards seemed to be focussed on the medical side of the birth rather than how we viewed the experience. T...his just made us feel worse, and that we just needed to accept it in silence and move on." We know up to 1 in 3 women experience the birth of their baby as traumatic. This trauma can result from not only what happens during labour and childbirth, but also how a mother feels as a result of her experience.

There is text that reads "1 in 3 women experience the birth of their baby as traumatic." #pandaweek2020 #tellsomeonewhocares

13.01.2022 DEAR FRIEND, I’m sorry for being so bloody rubbish. But you see, life moves really REALLY fast.... From the minute I open my eyes there are small people, big people and even some animals who are relying on me for many different reasons. Some of them involve eating and basic survival. I am spinning plates and dropping plenty. You, my dear friend are one of those plates. But I love you very much. I wish that every text message I wrote to you in my head made it into the virtual space and into your phone to let you know you’re in my heart and on my mind. I wish I could carry through with all the plans we make, knowing we never will. I go there in my mind it’s loads of fun. When I drop, frazzled, into bed at night, I remember I haven’t rung you, again. Then I remember I haven’t locked the back door or brought the cat in and just like that, it’s happened again and I have forgotten, again. I am very hopeful that one day life will be easier and we will be blessed with plenty of time for laughing, drinking and sharing. Stick with me, I promise I will be worth it when we are old and grey and you need someone to laugh with in the nursing home. I’m there. Yours loyally, Your bloody rubbish friend.

12.01.2022 Happy festive season Dads! Hats off to you all for making special memories with your little people

11.01.2022 South Australians we’re all in this together. Our therapists are still working and able to consult via Telehealth. We’re right here with you now, through coming months and years

10.01.2022 Ever thought of it this way?

10.01.2022 This generally happens in all families at some point. It is so helpful to understand these points at times when your child states they prefer one parent.

08.01.2022 There is so much in this

07.01.2022 Perinatal mental health week

07.01.2022 For those who have started their parenthood journey this year, we’re sorry for what you have missed out on.

06.01.2022 Relationships with our primary caregivers are so key in the way we see ourselves.

06.01.2022 This is at the heart of all our parenting conversations. It’s ok that you lose it sometimes. Coming back,owning it, and apologising teaches kids how much you value them and what strong, respectful relationships look like. So losing it offers an opportunity to teach kids really important stuff! Give yourself a break.

06.01.2022 Can you pause for a moment and think what the best presents you could give yourself this Christmas would be? Hint: you probably won’t be able to buy it from amazon. Some ideas in the picture

05.01.2022 If you haven’t yet discovered Brene Brown look her up! Her book Gifts of imperfect parenting is wonderful (as is all her work). Are you talking to yourself like someone you love?

02.01.2022 Our therapists have been working through all levels of COVID restrictions, with many sessions being undertaken via Telehealth. We are consulting in person, however, please note that SA Health have today mandated both clients and therapists wear masks. Please opt for Telehealth if you have an appointment and don’t have a mask available. Although COVID has meant such new ways of delivering therapy we’re grateful we can continue to provide important services throughout these uncertain times.

02.01.2022 Keep this in mind during these uncertain times
