Today, we dive into scenes from the new Apple TV show "Lessons in Chemistry" starring Brie Larson. Our special guest, therapist Heidi McBain, a licensed marriage and family therapist, helps us explore pregnancy and postpartum challenges. We focus on various aspects of pregnancy and postpartum issues, something we haven't covered in-depth before. Many of our listeners identify as women and might struggle with these issues. Heidi McBain, who specializes in this area, brings valuable insights into our discussion. We'll use specific scenes from the show to illustrate the challenges of pregnancy and postpartum, highlighting the neurochemical changes that can affect mood and mental health. While postpartum depression is widely discussed, we also delve into postpartum anxiety, which includes symptoms like hyperfixation, doom, and gloom, and fears about the child's well-being or one's parenting abilities. This often leads to obsessive-compulsive behaviors, such as overcleaning, and can cause increased irritation, frustration, and tension in relationships. Heidi shares stories from her clients about the ups and downs of motherhood and her personal experiences during pregnancy. These experiences shaped her career, leading her to focus on women's issues related to pregnancy, prenatal care, and postpartum challenges. We hope this episode sheds light on the significant challenges many women face during pregnancy and postpartum. The scenes we discuss from "Lessons in Chemistry" are intense but educational. Join us for an enlightening and supportive conversation with our special guest, therapist Heidi McBain. 🎙️👶🍼
