  • ENCORE: Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts with Karen Kleiman, MSW, LCSW
    Instead of a normal Behind the Sessions episode today, I’m featuring a great interview with Karen Kleiman from a previous show as we approach May, Maternal Mental Health Month. Maternal mental health needs a massive spotlight on it because it’s gone under-recognized and undersupported for far too long.  Karen Kleiman is a well-known international maternal mental health expert with over 35 years of experience. She is an advocate and the author of several groundbreaking books on postpartum depression and anxiety. Her work has been featured in multiple media outlets, including local and national TV, magazines, radio shows, and health websites. Karen founded The Postpartum Stress Center in 1988 and The Karen Kleiman Training Center in 2022. Their work is dedicated to the advancement of clinical expertise and therapeutic strategies for the treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Her advanced trainings are heavily influenced by The Art of Holding Perinatal Women in Distress™ model of intervention, created by Karen. She’s here to discuss intrusive thoughts and how to determine when intervention is necessary. Join us to learn more!  Show Highlights: Karen’s passion for writing, which is still there after 14 books! Karen’s purpose in being a compassionate voice to others through her books So many women are still suffering without the support they need and deserve! The harsh reality of the pandemic’s effects on new moms The wide range of scary thoughts: “What’s normal and what’s not?” The truth: Not all moms feel good about motherhood. “How do I know my scary thoughts are TOO scary?” (How to measure a mom’s distress) Fact: Not all intrusive thoughts are OCD-related. The biggest problem: Moms aren’t telling us how bad they feel. Karen’s book, What About Us?, and its guidance on navigating relationships, which ends up being primarily the woman’s responsibility Karen’s best advice for new moms Resources: Connect with Karen Kleiman and The Postpartum Stress Center: Website, Facebook, Instagram, What About Us?, and Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

    I’m welcoming Rachell Dumas to the show today. She is a maternal health advocate, registered nurse, and the founder of A Light After Nine, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, and maternal trauma.

She shares her best advice for others experiencing multiple losses and addresses the failures of the US healthcare system, especially in treating black women.  Show Highlights: Rachell’s pregnancy story, beginning in 2018 with a miscarriage followed by continued multiple losses, cervical insufficiency, and visits to a reproductive endocrinologist and maternal-fetal medicine doctor Rachell’s experience in being told that her cerclage failed and the only option is to deliver her baby, who would most certainly die Finding motherhood success in 2022, when her son was born weighing almost 5 pounds The heavy emotional journey of diagnoses, repeated procedures, and multiple doctors during her experience with 8 miscarriages and a stillbirth Finding success through hypnotherapy The need for more education about maternal health specialists and what they do Being a black woman in the US medical system “Educate yourself so you can advocate better!” Rachell’s first days of motherhood: caring for her baby but not allowing herself to bond fully with him Rachell’s passion about creating A Light After Nine to offer education, resources, and support for others Resources: Connect with Rachell Dumas and A Light After Nine: Website, YouTube Channel, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Instagram Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

  • 408: Held Together: A Shared Memoir of Motherhood, Medicine, and Imperfect Love with Dr. Rebecca Thompson, MD
    One of the primary reasons for this podcast’s existence is that sharing stories and experiences is a powerful means of healing and partnership. Today’s guest has created a beautiful book that embodies the spirit of collaboration and community in healing and moving forward. Join us to learn more! Dr. Rebecca Thompson is a family medicine and public health physician in Portland, Oregon. She specializes in women’s and children’s health and is the author of Held Together: A Shared Memoir of Motherhood, Medicine, and Imperfect Love. Dr. Rebecca shares how her medical practice and perspective on parenthood were shaped by the complicated pregnancies and losses she experienced while training to become a doctor. Those experiences led her to collaborate with patients, friends, and medical colleagues in sharing their stories of the many ways that creating and sustaining families can take unexpected turns.  Show Highlights: Sharing your truth openly encourages others to tell their stories. Dr. Rebecca’s efforts to work collaboratively to craft the most compelling version of others’ experiences Dr. Rebecca’s goal in conveying the “bigger themes” in people’s stories There is magic in learning new things about yourself through reading and hearing stories from others. Relating to others on a very human level is powerful. Imposter syndrome and its antidote The word “clinician” implies a partnership beyond the word “provider.” Telling your story can be more healing each time you share it.

  • 407: Behind the Sessions: Recognizing Perinatal Mental Health Symptoms in Yourself
    We are covering an important topic today because many people don’t realize that they are dealing with a perinatal mental health condition. They might even think their experience is “normal.” There is not enough information and awareness around what to look for and what to do about your symptoms. We simply aren’t taught how to recognize common symptoms and signs that we need help. My goal in this episode is to give context to perinatal mental health conditions and increase awareness while decreasing any shame and stigma. Join me to learn more! Show Highlights: Stigma and shame are silencing. Misconceptions about the “baby blues” (NOT the same as postpartum depression!) Common symptoms of postpartum depression Watch out for rage. Handling anxiety and excessive worry that are overwhelming and out of control Intrusive thoughts happen to many people, but the stakes are higher when you have a new baby. A mental health condition can look like ANY of us. Understanding postpartum OCD and its characteristics Common symptoms of PTSD Understanding the signs and symptoms of bipolar disorder Postpartum psychosis: a condition that cannot be minimized or dismissed because of the seriousness of paranoia, delusions, erratic behavior, and disorientation Tips to follow if you recognize any of these symptoms of perinatal mental health symptoms: Acknowledge the symptoms. Don’t blame yourself. Talk through your feelings with a trusted someone. Take the next steps to take care of your basic needs and self-care practices. Seek professional help. The good news: “ALL of these perinatal mental health conditions are treatable. You CAN get better!” Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

  • 406: Mothers Share Impacts of Hysterectomy and Childbirth Trauma
    Today’s show is unique in that we have four guests sharing their stories of losing a uterus to survive childbirth, and the chaos left behind after this traumatic event. These four women have connected over the struggle to rebuild their lives, the constant dismissal from healthcare professionals, and finding that the one missing ingredient to get back to a normal life isn’t normalized in today’s medical society. (Hint: Hormone Replacement Therapy) In sharing their journeys, they give insight into this experience and why this scenario isn’t discussed and supported in our society. They share the deep grief and trauma they have experienced over the fact that losing your uterus has far-reaching ramifications beyond just “losing an organ.” Join us to hear from Katie, Greta, Kelsey, and Brittany! Show Highlights: The story of their connection through a Facebook group Snapshots from the four women: when they found out they would lose their uterus through a life-saving hysterectomy Moving on with a new baby after a traumatizing delivery and near-death experience Learning to rely on others for help and support Feeling dismissed by healthcare professionals Physical and emotional issues from hormone disruptions Facing life-altering changes and significant trauma with support through therapy, medications, and hormone replacement What the women want others to know about their stories Resources: Connect with Hysterectomy Hormone Helpers: Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.
