Most new mothers bring their infants to the doctor but ignore any distressing feelings or sensations they might themselves have—that sense of being “rattled” at many moments throughout the day and night. In Rattled, Nicole Pensak shares her own experiences and those of her patients to help new mothers feel informed, validated and guided through matrescence.
Pensak provides practical and emotional support, helping to relieve the anxiety and pressure for perfection in motherhood and paving the way for a better beginning for families and babies. She discusses mental health treatment and the upside of therapy during this changing time, and offers accessible scientific information, relatable anecdotes and strategies for self-care. The result is a reassuring and practical handbook that new mothers and their families will refer to time and again.
