Jamie is joined by Sarah Harmon, licensed mental health counselor, mindfulness instructor, mother, and founder of Postpartum Wellness Group (and The School of Mom) to talk\\u2026Perinatal Wellness. \\xa0

What is the perinatal stage? \\xa0It\\u2019s the time from conception to one year after birth (although Sarah and Jamie have longer timing in their heads at times). Hormones, sleep disturbances, etc. - it all does not all of a sudden regulate and become \\u201cnormal\\u201d again past the one year mark. \\xa0Also, let\\u2019s not forget our pre-conception friends on a fertility journey that have a story here too.

One day this baby comes. \\xa0This day creates the biggest changes in your life. These changes are physical, biological, social, emotional, practical, spiritual, etc. It should not be a surprise when people struggle through these common mental issues - we just don\'t bring this to light in our society often (yet). \\xa0

1 in 5 moms experiences significant symptoms of anxiety and/or depression during the perinatal stage. \\xa0Partners do too\\u20261 in 10 dads experience mental health issues during this time. \\xa0Sarah and Jamie get into what \\u201csignificant symptoms\\u201d mean.

Listen in and learn about PMAD (Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders) and so much more.

Please share this with a friend. \\xa0We are in this with you and know support is crucial! \\xa0We knew Sarah was knowledgeable and good at what she does\\u2026but, wow. \\xa0This is an exceptional episode, if we do say so ourselves.

And if you are local to MA and looking for a therapist, Sarah\'s private practice, Postpartum Wellness Group, is accepting new clients. Please email: hello@postpartumwellnessgroup.com.\\xa0
