Unraveling Motherhood is a unique exploration of the transformative experience of motherhood, delving into its mental and emotional impact.
This insightful book includes conversations and real insights about maternal mental health, identity, vulnerabilities, and more, offering support to anyone lost in the blur of overwhelming thoughts and emotions.
Honest, reflective, and relatable, Unraveling Motherhood provides a motivational toolkit for navigating the complexities of motherhood. Drawing from her own experiences with mental well-being, author Geraldine Walsh discusses various aspects of motherhood, helping readers untangle their roles and find balance.
Unraveling Motherhood combines research, personal experiences, and practical processes to leave readers feeling validated and empowered. The book includes helpful insights on how to view situations differently and listen to one's mind in appropriate ways, along with discussions with psychologists, exercises, and journaling.
Key topics include:
Handling Expectations vs. Reality: Learn how to manage the gap between expectations and the reality of motherhood.
Managing Wellness and Mental Health: Strategies for maintaining wellness and mental health during the early months and years of motherhood.
Developing Healthy Habits: Tips for fostering proper and holistic self-compassion.
Reconciliation of Identity: Guidance on reconciling your identity before and after becoming a mother.
Identifying Outside Influences: Understanding how culture, friends, family, and media affect your self-evaluation as a mother.
Unraveling Motherhood considers motherhood as a tightly woven knot of physical, mental, emotional, and social changes, and seeks to unravel that knot. Unraveling is good; stitching up is better-but when the pattern is not working out the way we hoped, we must first unravel to start again.
