Momma's Oxygen Mask | Therapy for the Medical Mom

We all know the analogy about riding in an airplane. When the oxygen masks fall down, you put your mask on first before helping those around you. In medical parenthood, how do you put your own needs ahead of the significant needs of your child? We aren’t talking about making sure the laundry is clean here…Self care for medical moms often looks like taking care of basic daily needs for themselves, showering or brushing your teeth.  Today, Suz and Katrina talk about Therapy. They discuss the ups and downs of finding the best fit in a therapist, the ups and downs of therapy itself, and deciding that you are important enough to invest in.    “You have to unlearn this inner dialogue that you aren’t good enough.” -Suz   Here’s what you don’t want to miss: Dating App for Therapists Therapist turns on me Vulnerability Friendships Inner Dialogue Good enough?
