Just as a broken bone or surgery takes time for the healing process, the recovery process in healing from a perinatal mental health condition takes time. The process isn\u2019t linear at all but is filled with ups and downs, and it comes with short-term and long-term aspects of healing. Join me for a closer look in today\u2019s episode.\nShow Highlights:\n\nComplicating factors that show up in the healing process have ramifications in life, relationships, and capacity to function.\n\nThe healing journey does not come with a pre-set timeline.\n\nEven helpful medications take 4-6 weeks to reach their full efficacy.\n\nAn increase in stress, a decrease in sleep, and other disruptions can bring back symptoms.\n\nTherapy requires a big-picture view to get through the very normal combination of good days and bad days.\n\nIt\u2019s okay to ask for help, even if you appear to be \u201crecovered.\u201d\n\nSupport is key, whether it\u2019s from a partner, family, friends, support group, etc.\n\n\u201cYour healing process may mean you slow down and take breaks. Understand your capacity and give yourself grace and space.\u201d\n\nHealing doesn\u2019t come through ONE magic thing but is unique to each person and their needs.\xa0\n\nResources:\nVisit www.postpartum.net for resources and support!\xa0\nVisit www.postpartum.net/professionals/certificate-trainings/ for information on the grief course.\xa0\xa0\nVisit my website, www.wellmindperinatal.com, for more information, resources, and courses you can take today!
