Pregnancy and becoming a parent can be a big emotional adjustment. Some days may feel exciting. Other days may feel exhausting, confusing, or just plain hard. You might be dealing with anxiety during pregnancy, a difficult birth, pregnancy loss, postpartum depression, or the pressure of suddenly being responsible for someone else.
Therapy can give you a place to work through it.
At EMDR Healing Therapy, we provide perinatal and postpartum therapy for adults in San Diego and surrounding cities.

What Are You Going Through?
Pregnancy feels stressful instead of exciting
Maybe you’re constantly worried about your baby’s health or thinking about everything that could go wrong. You may have experienced infertility, pregnancy loss, or complications before, making it difficult to feel relaxed during your current pregnancy. Therapy can help you work through the anxiety and fear instead of carrying it by yourself.

You can’t stop thinking about a difficult birth
Maybe your delivery didn’t go the way you expected. You could still be thinking about an emergency procedure, complications, pain, or feeling powerless during the experience. Even if your baby is healthy, the experience may still affect you. EMDR therapy can help you process traumatic experiences and work toward feeling more grounded.
You don’t feel like yourself after having your baby
Your entire routine has changed. Your sleep, relationships, body, priorities, and identity may all feel different. You love your baby, but you may also miss your old life. That’s okay. Perinatal and postpartum therapy can help you adjust to your new role without losing yourself in the process.

You’re struggling with sadness or emotional disconnection
Maybe you’re not enjoying things you normally would. You may feel sad, irritable, exhausted, guilty, or disconnected from your baby. Therapy provides a supportive space to talk about what’s happening and work on healthier ways to cope.

You’re grieving a pregnancy or baby you lost
Miscarriage, stillbirth, infertility, and pregnancy complications can leave a deep emotional impact. You may feel like everyone else has moved on while you’re still trying to process what happened. Grief counseling can give you room to grieve without being rushed or judged.

Parenting feels completely overwhelming
There is a lot of pressure to get everything right. You may be trying to care for your baby, manage your relationship, handle work, and somehow find time for yourself. Therapy can help you manage the emotional pressure and build more realistic expectations around parenting.
