THE DARK SIDE OF MOTHERHOOD: Generational Trauma and Postpartum Depression & Anxiety

In this bonus episode Sam talks to clinical psychologist Slindile Mbatha about Intergenerational Trauma and how it intersects with motherhood. Mbatha explains what generational trauma is, how it can be recognised and how we break the cycle of trauma.

The pair also deep-dive into postpartum depression, anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Mbatha outlines common symptoms and normalises some often overpathologised traits of a woman navigating new motherhood.
