Living with anxiety can feel like being in the eye of an emotional storm. One moment you may feel in control, and the next, a wave of worry washes over you, leaving you feeling helpless and overwhelmed. As an online therapy provider specializing in supporting women with anxiety, we understand how these high-anxiety situations can be not just challenging but utterly exhausting.

Anticipatory anxiety refers to the dread and fear experienced before an expected event. It's the tension you feel days, weeks, or even months before an event you consider stressful. This kind of anxiety can be a part of other anxiety disorders like generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias. However, it's an experience that almost anyone can relate to, even without a formal diagnosis.

Transitioning to motherhood is a significant milestone that brings joy, love, and a new sense of purpose. However, it also comes with its own set of challenges that can put emotional and psychological strains on new mothers. These challenges are magnified manifold for women who have experienced childhood trauma. Suddenly, responsibilities like feeding, comforting, and disciplining your child could act as triggers, evoking memories and emotions you thought were long-buried.

Whether you're struggling with life transitions, feeling disconnected from your partner, or battling feelings of inadequacy as a mom or wife, high-quality online therapy could be the lifeline you need. At Brighter Days Teletherapy, our highly skilled therapists with lived experience are here to guide you through the unique challenges you face. Let's dive into how therapy for moms can help you regain a sense of self and transform your life for the better.
