You're a good mom. So why do you feel so bad? Moms have it hard; whether due to ingrained beliefs, the pressures of everything from social expectations to social media, or their own childhood wounds, even the best moms can feel like they are failing. With refreshing honesty, maternal mental health experts Jessica Tomich Sorci and Rebecca Geshuri address the feelings that moms aren't supposed to have, like anxiety, anger, shame and resentment, as well as disappointment, ambivalence about being a mom, and yearning for your "old" life. Tomich Sorci and Geshuri help any mom anywhere to identify these pain points, make sense of their distress, and begin to find relief. Their compassionate approach validates the unique struggles that moms experience and offers reinterpretations that bring hope and empowerment. With examples from real moms and practical exercises, When Good Moms Feel Bad delivers a clear message to all moms: There is nothing wrong with you.
