Description

 HOLY MOLY mamas! I actually just don’t even know what to say about this week’s episode with Cath Counihan.  It’s just THAT good. Cath is a London based trauma-informed Integrative Psychotherapist, lecturer, and host of the podcast Grow Yourself Up. She is a mother of twin girls and started her practice; Psychotherapy Mum after feeling blindsighted by her own experience of motherhood.  Cath’s work is focused on supporting those who are healing their own childhood trauma and specifically, her expertise is in the emotional journey of parents who did not have their needs met in childhood.  In today’s episode Cath tells us about her own ongoing journey with releasing control and leaning into imperfection. Cath also talks about how she managed her breaking point at 10 months post-partum; childhood trauma and how it shapes us; the lifelong work of building self compassion through reparenting; and how vulnerability has become her greatest strength.  This is a very open, raw, and generous conversation, and I am so grateful to Cath for gifting this to us. Here is where you can find out more about me (Yara), how to work with me and some resources: Why Am I So Angry Workshop *** Waitlist for The Rebirth, Group Coaching for Mamas ***This is my signature 3 months online group coaching container for mothers which covers family of origin, inner child work, nervous system basics, anger, boundaries and much more.  @lifeafterbirthpsychology   www.lifeafterbirth.com.au Free Inner Critic Workbook Free Values Aligned Living Workbook  You can find out more about Cath and her offerings at these places:  Instagram: @psychotherapy_mum Podcast: Grow Yourself Up www.psychotherapymum.com

Life after birth is a podcast hosted by me; mother, psychologist and coach, Yara Heary. This is where I'll talk to women about their complex experiences of being a mother. You'll find me talking to experts but not how you've heard them talk before. I'll be asking them about their experiences behind their expertise - who were they before a mother, how has it changed them, and who have they become.
