Tuning out mom shame and comparison:

Filtering out the noise of family and friends, social media, and your internal monologue

Backward Facing Therapy contains soulful and insightful stories from my time as a therapist, and therapy client. Sometimes you have to look back so you can move forward. Sit by me and we’ll do it together. Posts are informational and should not be considered a substitute for professional mental health care.

The video in this post was created for the Mental Health and Motherhood Conference in October 2024. I decided to share with my friends here on Substack.

“Perhaps it takes courage to raise children..”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden

***Paid subscribers can download the video transcript in Kim’s Therapy Space along with the (twenty-eight) print and cut Motherhood Affirmation cards mentioned in the video.

If you’re a mom, what one piece of advice would you give to new mothers?

What do you wish your mother or primary caregiver had done differently when you were a child?

Until next time, be well.
