    Postpartum Depression, Anxiety and OCD: Dr. Kat Interviewed by Karen Kleiman (Ep. 485)

    Today is a very special episode because I not only have the pleasure of hosting this podcast, but I am also the guest. Yes, that's right! Today, I'm opening up my heart and sharing my postpartum story with you once again; I last told my story way back in Episode 1 in June 2016. I want all of you who know me as Dr. Kat professionally to understand why I am so deeply passionate about the cause of maternal mental health. Join us now! Karen Kleiman is a well-known international maternal mental-health expert with over 35 years of experience. As an advocate and author of several groundbreaking books on postpartum depression and anxiety, her work has been featured on the internet and within the mental health community for decades. In 1988, Karen founded The Postpartum Stress Center, a treatment and training facility for prenatal and postpartum depression and anxiety. Katayune Kaeni, Psy.D. PMH-C, “Dr. Kat,” is a perinatal mental health-certified psychologist, author of The Pregnancy Workbook: Manage Anxiety and Worry with CBT and Mindfulness Techniques, and host of the Mom & Mind Podcast, covering personal stories and expert interviews related to perinatal mental health. She is also the board chair of Postpartum Support International, an organization whose mission is to promote awareness, prevention, and treatment of mental health issues related to childbearing in every country worldwide. Dr. Kat began specializing in perinatal mental health after her own experience with postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD over 12 years ago. Dr. Kat continues to work virtually with clients across California.  Show Highlights: How Dr. Kat’s first pregnancy, even though planned and easy, resulted in a long, difficult labor that jump-started postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD Why new moms struggle to know what’s normal, not normal, too much, or not enough How feeling inadequate and incompetent as a new mom was part of Dr. Kat’s anxiety and her battle with perfectionism How she felt alone and disconnected even from her husband, and NO ONE knew what was happening on the inside How scary intrusive thoughts put her in emotional turmoil Why shame and stigma are greater for mental health professionals–and will silence them at times How Dr. Kat carried on her therapy work with clients as the depression grew, making her feel trapped, exhausted, embarrassed, and confused How finally taking the PHQ-9 depression screening test for herself finally opened her eyes to the truth of what she was going through How she shut down even with her therapist and turned to a naturopathic physician, acupuncture, and other healing alternatives Why therapists MUST address the suffering client in front of them with curiosity and questions Why Dr. Kat is so deeply driven to help other moms break through and find the help and support to know that THEY WILL BE OK Resources: Connect with Karen: ⁠Website⁠,⁠ Twitter⁠,⁠ Instagram⁠,⁠ Facebook⁠,⁠ Book: Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts⁠ and⁠ LinkedIn⁠ Check out Karen Kleiman’s other books: ⁠Website⁠ and⁠ Amazon⁠.

    Breastfeeding and Mental Health After Birth Trauma (Ep. 484)

    We talk about a lot of things that people don’t want to talk about or even hear. Still, they are very real, challenging, and difficult circumstances surrounding pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. It’s important to share these stories because these difficulties become a reality for many people. Today’s show focuses on birth trauma and breastfeeding as we hear our guest’s personal account. Erin Northrup is a mom of four busy children, ranging in age from 2 to 10. She lives in Atlantic Canada, where she enjoys spending time in nature with her family. With the birth of her oldest child, Jack, she experienced birth trauma, and this experience sparked her passion for researching trauma. Erin holds a bachelor’s in Psychology and is currently pursuing a Master’s in Health Services Research. Her current research explores the experience of breastfeeding after birth trauma. Her own experience of breastfeeding after birth trauma inspired her to become a volunteer with a breastfeeding support organization offering community-based, peer-to-peer breastfeeding support. She is committed to raising awareness of the intersection of birth trauma, breastfeeding, and perinatal mental health. Show Highlights: Erin’s birth trauma experience with the birth of her son, Jack, now 10 How her OB prepared her to have a C-section because of an ambiguous condition How Erin’s water broke a week early, and her spinal didn’t take, so the C-section proceeded under general anesthesia, while Erin felt dissociated from the entire experience In recovery, she was told that her son was taken to the NICU because of low blood sugar, and she couldn’t see him yet How Erin’s mom, a physician, stepped in to advocate for Erin to see her son While eating breakfast a few hours after the birth, Erin felt a popping sensation in her incision and felt a gush of blood Erin was rushed back to the OR, and the spinal worked this time while Erin cried on the table--all of this was before she had even held her baby How Erin was repeatedly spoken about like she wasn’t even in the room; she felt like her input wasn’t even important When Erin got home, survival mode kicked in, and she regretted not advocating more strongly for herself How Erin questioned whether or not her son was even the right baby, worrying that a mix-up could have occurred in the hospital because neither she nor her husband witnessed his birth How she determined to “make it up” to her son by breastfeeding him How the Ob told her at two months postpartum that her condition should not have warranted a C-section in the first place---which just made everything worse How Erin felt an erosion of trust in her doctors and the medical system How Erin asked where the growth and meaning was in her situation and how she could use her experience to help others Erin applied to a Master’s program and went on to have three more kids with positive birth experiences How Erin found support for breastfeeding What Erin has found in her research by asking mothers about their experience with birth trauma and breastfeeding The magnitude of the response she has received, but the difficulty in hearing the painful stories of birth trauma The results from Erin’s research: Birth trauma is destabilizing to the breastfeeding process because of the physical and emotional pain in childbirth and the postpartum period from mistreatment The importance of trauma-informed care How women with these experiences feel like the trauma is somehow their fault What care providers should be aware of in their work Resources: ⁠Instagram: Live Learn Lactate⁠ Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit⁠ cdph.ca.gov⁠ Please find resources in English and Spanish at⁠ Postpartum Support International⁠, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

    Healing Birth Trauma Through Storytelling and Sharing the Narratives of Black Mothers (Ep. 482)

    Today’s episode focuses on the narrative style of therapy, and it’s a topic that we haven’t covered on the podcast before. We always want to explore new therapeutic approaches and the various ways they can offer healing and support for more women. Everyone needs to know about the different therapies that are available to them. Join us to learn more! Dr. Lyneia Richardson is a mother, healer, and licensed psychologist who works as a maternal mental health advocate dedicated to revitalizing the spirit of all mamas.

    Foundations in Paternal Perinatal Mental Health (Ep. 481)

    I’m excited to welcome Dr. Daniel Singley back to the show. He joined me years ago when we were a brand-new podcast, and he’s been busy doing meaningful work in the world around paternal mental health. Join us to learn more about why the mental health of fathers cannot be overlooked in perinatal care. Dr. Daniel Singley is a San Diego-based, board-certified psychologist and director of The Center for Men’s Excellence.

    Perinatal Mental Health Healing: 10 Years of Support, Advocacy and Hope for Families (Ep. 480)

    This is a special episode as we hit the 10-year mark of the podcast. It’s unbelievable, and it certainly doesn’t feel like ten years have passed! It’s a good point to stop and reflect on what we’ve done and how incredibly grateful I am to each person who has come on the show to share their stories and help us learn what perinatal mental health conditions look like and how we can offer more support. This information is what everyone needs before they even know they need it. I want to take this opportunity to reflect on how far the podcast has come and how far perinatal mental health education, advocacy, and understanding have advanced over the past ten years. This specialty has continued to grow within the context of how people find growth and healing. We’ve covered the basics and made people aware of the fundamentals of perinatal mental health, and the voices have only gotten louder in spreading vital information. Let’s take a look! Show Highlights: A look back at the very beginning of Mom & Mind The shift in language from “maternal mental health” to “perinatal mental health” and “PMADs” to “PMDs.” The need for basic information remains, letting people know what to look for. Diving into people’s lived experiences through their cultural, religious, ethnic, and marginalized lenses Our systems impact us, especially in how we become parents and parent our children. Deepening and widening the discussion to include everyone connected to the birth or loss of a child The myth of “the magical download” of parenthood People are more willing to talk about their shortcomings as new parents.  Scary thoughts are what you might be feeling—not WHO you are. We understand SO much more about what people might be going through with perinatal mental health. Everyone deserves highly specialized care for these 100% treatable and very temporary conditions.  The stigma of medication during pregnancy and postpartum, and how we’ve addressed it Your culture, identity, and lived experience are central to your healing.  One final truth: “The transition to motherhood and parenthood is a profound psychological transition. Peer connection is essential.” Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.
