Motherhood with Naomi Stadlen Finding Psychotherapy

Naomi Stadlen works as an existential psychotherapist in private practice and specialises in seeing mothers and parent couples. Naomi teaches and supervises at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling. 
An important part of what Naomi has done for over 30 years, is to run a group called Mothers Talking, a discussion group where mothers can share their experiences. Through her work, Naomi has written several books on motherhood and most recently grandmothers. 
The inspiration for her books comes from her own experiences as well as all the hundreds of people she has spoken to. Her books include the bestselling: 
What Mothers Do Especially When It Looks Like Nothing How Mothers Love and how relationships are bornWhat Mothers Learn without being taughtWhy Grandmothers MatterI have asked Naomi to join me today on the Finding Psychotherapy podcast hoping for an insight into her wonderfully refreshing and deceptively simple understanding of mothers, motherhood, and later on grandmothers. Since becoming a mother I have become particularly interested in the vast complexities that come with this role, the unique relationship to your baby and dare I say it yourself. I have become aware of how different experiences can be and how valuable talking about them is. So, in this episode I hope to be able to tap into Naomi’s findings, because as she quoted “Plato recalling Socrates: 'The unexamined life is not worth living.'
