Prenatal Psychotherapy
Prenatal Psychotherapy marks some turning points in women’s lives; it changes them, transforms them, and gives them the ability to see life with new eyes… One of these is pregnancy, which exposes a woman to changes not only physiological but also psychological.
How is Prenatal Psychotherapy Conducted?
This different process, where hormones change, the body’s mechanism now works for two, and the responsibility of hosting another life is felt, varies for every woman.
Many women adapt much more easily to these changes and can continue their lives according to this new normal. However, many women feel lost, struggle, and feel unprepared amid these changes.
Actually, the emotional state caused by the unknown and foreign nature of the changes pregnancy brings can be avoided. Prenatal psychotherapy can be a very effective guide both when deciding to become pregnant and during the prenatal period to prepare the expectant mother for pregnancy and this new phase in her life.
What is Prenatal Psychotherapy?
Being a woman involves many identities, perhaps the most unique of which is becoming a mother. Although it is seen as an instinctive feeling, some paths may need to be taken to be ready for motherhood. Professional support may be needed for the transition to motherhood both mentally and physically.
Because it is very important to be able to carry the increasing responsibilities that come with motherhood, to shape life with these responsibilities, and to create time for oneself as much as for the baby.
At this point, prenatal psychotherapy helps the expectant mother go through this process with less anxiety, aiming to eliminate anxiety disorders and increase awareness through regular sessions.
As important as physical preparation for birth, mental preparation is also crucial. Prenatal psychotherapy not only organizes the birth process for the mother-to-be but also her general life, helping her feel much better. Since it makes her more sensitive to her body, it also supports a stronger bond with her baby.
How is Prenatal Psychotherapy Applied?
Prenatal psychotherapy consists of individual sessions focusing on the mother’s special conditions. Emotional fluctuations that are difficult to cope with are addressed to improve the psychological state of the expectant mother until birth.
During therapy, past bad experiences, gender roles in society, hearsay, worries, and the burden of increased responsibilities after becoming a mother are evaluated, helping to control the mother’s feelings.
Therapies may be supported with various exercises and trainings. The aim is to prepare the mother mentally for the new world in the healthiest way possible.
Let us remember that the more a mother can regulate her feelings and be aware, the healthier her baby develops. Thus, the foundations of secure attachment are firmly established.
