Intrusive Thoughts & Postpartum Mental Health | with Susannah Long, LMFT

Today, we are talking with Susannah Long. Susannah is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Greenville, SC. In her private practice, she helps pregnant and postpartum moms tackle fear and learn to take back control from intrusive thoughts and anxiety. In the episode, Susannah and I discuss some of the common misconceptions around mental health. We also talk about preparing to thrive during the postpartum period, and how to navigate intrusive thoughts and postpartum mood disorders if they do arise. Reframing the way we perceive mental health struggles and learning how to effectively communicate our needs are recurring themes in this conversation, and I truly hope that you leave this episode feeling confident and hopeful, whether you are currently struggling, working to support others, or just preparing for the future.
