About This Resource

A thought arrives out of nowhere. An image of something terrible happening to your baby, or of you being the one who causes harm. It horrifies you, so you keep it to yourself, certain you are the only one, afraid of what it might say about you.

These are scary, intrusive thoughts, and they are far more common in new parents than anyone talks about. Having them does not mean you want them to happen, and it does not mean you are a danger to your child. So often, the very fact that the thought distresses you this much reflects how much you love your child.

In this workshop, Erica Djossa and Dr. Ashurina Ream help you understand what intrusive thoughts are, why they show up, and the skills that actually loosen their grip, from grounding your body to gently challenging the thought.

You are not your thoughts, and thoughts are not facts. You do not have to carry this in silence.

What clients say

You are not the only one

“I’d just gotten done crying after yelling at my children for the 100th time that day, feeling like I was a terrible mother, when I found the course. It was so comforting to hear people talking about exactly what I was going through, with no judgment.”

Rachel

“I was struggling so much and feeling extremely overwhelmed as a new mother when I discovered Momwell. I thought I was the only one struggling and that there was something wrong with me for not being able to handle it all.”
