I’ve listened to Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estés' audiobooks dozens of times and find myself calling in more and more of this story medicine into my work. Of all of her recorded works, this may be one of my favorites and most often recommended to clients as "homework."
Elly and I talked about Dr. Jack Travis’ estimate in the book “Why Dad’s Leave” that roughly 30 percent of fathers in the US leave (many more leave emotionally). He’s identified a syndrome called male postpartum abandonment syndrome; being unprepared for the disconnections that happen through the transitions into parenthood which in turn triggers dads to feel abandoned by their partner who’s bonding with the baby, and then in many cases, leads to them abandoning the family.
...on the most recent Connectfulness Practice Podcast episode we’re dispelling the myth that you can't and reframing HOW TO prepare parents for parenthood. Rebecca is joined by Elly Taylor and Barb Buckner Suárez for a roundtable discussion around teaching parents skills to help cycle through each transitional stage of life to come, impacting the legacy of future generations. . . 🎧 link to podcast in bio or find this episode at connectfulness.com/episode/008-becoming-parents . . #connectfulness #connectfulnesspractice #podcast #becomingus #parenthood #andbabymakesthree #PMAD #postpartum #postpartummentalhealth #postpartumdepression #postpartumrelationships #repair #relationships #intimacy #relationshiptherapy #attachment
“People can get closer together on the other side of this. It's like the idea of walking through fire together and then being on the other side. But of course what it involves is being vulnerable and from a cultural standpoint we're told vulnerability is a horrible horrible thing and that we need to put on our armor and get ready to do battle day in and day out, but not with your partner for crying out loud. If there is one person that you can remove the armor and actually be present in front of them and share from your heart. As Elly says ‘it's more important to be real than it is to be right’. That is such a key piece of information for people to get. Because conflict is going to happen, but is there a way that you can actually share your truth like you were saying Rebecca from a standpoint of being assertive in your communication, not aggressive, but assertive, in your communication and can your partner actually hear what you're trying to say.” @bbucknersuarez #connectfulnesspractice #podcast . . 🎧 listen to our full roundtable discussion about #becomingparents on your fave #podcast platform or connectfulness.com/episode/008-becoming-parents (link in bio) . . #connectfulness #becomingus #parenthood #andbabymakesthree #PMAD #postpartum #postpartummentalhealth #postpartumdepression #postpartumrelationships #repair #relationships #intimacy #repair #vulnerability #relationshiptherapy

“Repair is truly where intimacy lies. If we can't navigate and manage the difficult moments together and then find our way back to each other, then what do we have? That's intimacy. We'll get in the mud. We’ll get dirty. And we come out of it still loving each other, or kind of liking each other today, or willing to stay in it for another rumble.” — Rebecca Wong #connectfulnesspractice #podcast . . 🎧 listen to our full roundtable discussion about #becomingparents on your fave #podcast platform or connectfulness.com/episode/008-becoming-parents (link in bio) . . #connectfulness #becomingus #parenthood #andbabymakesthree #PMAD #postpartum #postpartummentalhealth #postpartumdepression #postpartumrelationships #repair #relationships #intimacy #relationshiptherapy
#Repost @jointempest ****** There is nothing wrong with you. You are born with intrinsic value and no amount of "fuck ups," or endless striding for perfection can change that. You are worthy— period.
