Mind Over Mother: Every mum's guide to worry and anxiety in the first years

Product Information

MIND OVER MOTHER is a warm and accessible guide to understanding and addressing anxiety in motherhood, for every mother - based on grounded techniques that have been widely tried and tested, but most importantly, have changed the life of the author herself (a mum and psychotherapist). In many ways, it’s great that social media gets us talking openly about some of our feelings and thoughts as mothers. Anna Mathur is an experienced Psychotherapist and passionate psycho-educator, with a specialism for working with women. It seems to have become culturally acceptable to spend our lives teetering back and forth between worry and anxiety.
