In this episode we talk with Dr. Jane Shomof about perinatal and postpartum mental health and how she helps moms navigate the early postpartum period. Dr. Jane Shomof is a licensed psychotherapist, perinatal mental health specialist, substance abuse & addiction specialist, a doctor of clinical psychology, and the founder and CEO of Bloome.
We discussed her journey of entering motherhood and how she did “all the things” and had a very specific birth plan that she was handing out to everyone only to have her first birth, back in 2011, not go according to plan. At that point postpartum depression was the only diagnosis but she knew something else was going on. She had dealt with a combination of postpartum anxiety and postpartum OCD and learned over the course of a 6 year span in birthing her children that not much had changed.
She now works to guide moms on a path to better understand maternal mood disorders and really rework their mindset for both birth and the postpartum period. She mentions how a birth experience that doesn’t quite go according to plan can lead to thoughts of failure in parenthood and be the perfect place for a mood disorder to occur.
Listen in on the full episode to hear more information on postpartum mood disorders, how we can help ease into the transition of motherhood, and what we can do to better prepare for the postpartum period.
