Mentoring Mothers
When a child is born, so is a mother.
Why Did No One Tell Me?
“Everyone talks about pregnancy and birth, but no one prepares you for life after the baby arrives.”
“I knew motherhood would be challenging, but I didn’t expect it to be this hard!”
“I feel like everything about me has changed, and I don’t even recognize myself anymore.”
“Other moms seem to have it all figured out—why am I the only one struggling?”
“I wanted this—I wanted to be a mom—so why am I not enjoying it like I thought I would?”
“I never expected to feel this exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, and alone.”
“I’m terrified of repeating the patterns from my childhood.”
“I thought bonding would come naturally, but some days, I just don’t feel connected to my baby at all.”
Matrescense, A New Perspective
The good news is that these thoughts and feelings can be a normal part of becoming a new mother. Normal, not optimal. They are an indicator of a profound passage now known as Matrescence (sounds like adolescence, right?)
Matrescence is the process of becoming a mother, the journey to birth the Mother.
This is the developmental journey of a woman moving through preconception, pregnancy and birth, surrogacy or adoption, to the postnatal period and beyond. Similar to adolescence, it involves profound changes in every aspect of a woman’s sense of self: physical, emotional, social, cultural, spiritual, and psychological.
Understanding this intense time of change as a developmental stage destigmatizes the experience and creates a more compassionate and accepting environment for women to change, explore and shape their lives according to their own personal experiences.
