My clinical framework is deeply rooted in attachment theory, emphasizing the intricate and vital mother-child relationship. It's striking how easily society trivializes the journey of conceiving, birthing, and nurturing a child, assuming that a healthy baby equates to a perfectly aligned mother, regardless of her physical and emotional challenges. This oversight regarding maternal mental health is a significant loss for our society, as failing to honor the mother's experience diminishes our ability to truly honor the child and family. The reality is that motherhood is a complex journey, often portrayed simplistically by society, leaving women feeling forgotten or disconnected in the postpartum period, almost like an afterthought.
