Ep 16: Yara Heary on maternal anger, relationships and identity after baby, the good mum & good girl syndrome, the anger iceberg, and nervous system regulation

Yara is a Perth psychologist who works exclusively with women throughout conception, pregnancy, and motherhood. Yara started Life After Birth Psychology following the birth of her first son which started her on yet another journey of self-rediscovery. Her experiences throughout early motherhood drew her to support other women as they navigate their own family of origin dynamics, the social programming of the “good mother”, relationship changes with those around them, identity shifts, and role changes to find their place of balance and authenticity as mothers. We chat about soooo much good stuff! - Relationships after baby - Anger, the anger iceberg, why we get angry in motherhood - How our childhood affects our experience with anger as adults - Reparenting the inner child - Regulating our nervous system in motherhood - The good mum myth, intensive mothering and anger - Breathing practices You can find Yara here: @lifeafterbirthpsychology https://www.lifeafterbirth.com.au/
