    Re-gaining control amidst the chaos

    It is with great pleasure I introduce today’s guest, Dr. Shari-Ann James, licensed Psychologist and certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional.  It was vital that I include Dr. James on season 3 because it has become abundantly clear that our mental health as parents, women, mothers, daughters has been stretched compounded by a global pandemic.  Dr. James shares some practical tools that can be used immediately to help calm the storm of our thoughts, I mean she literally demonstrates one mindfulness technique that’s quick and I personally found helpful. 1 in 8 couples experience some fertility challenges, yet many feel quite alone when faced with such a diagnosis. Dr. James talks us through the emotions associated with infertility, one such feeling is that of losing your sense of control, hear how she suggests this particular feeling can be addressed. We also cover: What perinatal mental health looks like? Tips for perinatal self-care Creating a space where you can be open and honest with your significant other Considerations for reproductive options, inclusive of third-party reproduction When should someone get help for postpartum anxiety, rage and depression? Have you ever heard of a postpartum plan/checklist? Dr. James delves into this critical tool that can be used as a preventative measure for the 4th Here are a few of her recommended books: The infertility workbook by Barbara Blitzer Conquering infertility by Dr. Alice Domar At a loss by Donna Rothert Interested in working with Dr. Shari-Ann H.
