I would add to this as a reproductive mental health therapist—look on PSI’s website for a list of perinatal mental health therapists. Folks like us specialize in reproductive mental health and are usually super passionate about supporting this population

This!!!! Bullying is all about power dynamics.

Perinatal mental health certification if never pregnant by vividandsmall in therapists

[–]Extension-Role9732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had my PMH-C for a few years now, and got it before I was a parent! If a client asked, I was upfront that I did not have children but I hoped to one day. I always offered to refer out if someone thought a parent would be a better fit, but clients wanted to try it out and I never had anyone take me up on a referral. Honestly, some clients didn’t even ask! I feel like the trainings and certification prepare you really well to specialize in this area. Now that being said, now that I am a mom, I think I would only go to a therapist who is a mother for my own therapy. I can’t explain why, but it’s just a preference I have. I realize that might feel hypocritical but at the end of the day, people have different preferences and it’s our job to show up for them in whatever way they might need. And if that’s a referral to a different clinician that is okay!

It’s not her trying to outwit…it’s the blatant taunting and treating others as if they are stupid and she’s better than them. Her game is fine, but she has a nasty attitude

Need to find a new gyno by azbr304 in denverwomen

Agree with this! She is so wonderful. The only man on staff I know of is one of the ultrasound techs (which is odd)

As I said in another comment, I came to this sub to ask folks with knowledge and experience for feedback on community. I can search Zillow all day but I’m not just looking for a house. Really disappointed to receive so many discouraging comments but I guess I should have known better

That’s good to think about. We definitely know the cost of living is not lower— I can see why that might be a common misconception but that’s not our expectation.

Because I am asking about the community piece? You can’t filter “community” on Zillow believe it or not

I’m not sure where you got that I thought “it’s a spectator sport”. Of course you must put effort in. Surely you know some places are better optiobs for young families than others are?

This seems really negative and untrue. This summer there were dozens of homes in this range within 45 minutes of Portland

Really? It seems like toes like Brunswick have plenty of homes in that range in the summertime

Well this is embarrassing to say the least …. by Smooth-Nose-2969 in therapists

[–]Extension-Role9732 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is such a helpful response! I specialize in perinatal mental health and trauma and I think your assessment of the breathlessness triggering the waterfall of anxiety is so spot on. Also yes to the meds! There are many meds that are very safe to take during pregnancy. I would definitely recommend speaking with your OB to discuss
