Summary

Dr. Ream describes first-time parenthood as an experience that rocked her world. When she found herself crying and screaming because her baby wouldn’t fall asleep, she knew she needed to seek help. Of course, she had heard of postpartum anxiety and depression but postpartum rage was something she hadn’t been prepared for.

When she went looking for support and didn’t turn up much, she decided to solve the problem herself. She is a licensed clinical psychologist who completed additional training to specialize in perinatal mental health. After that, she went on to found Psyched Mommy, the largest social media platform focusing on perinatal mental health. Postpartum rage and anger isn't something that we talk about enough –or even at all– so I'm really excited that we are diving into this important topic today!

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

What defines postpartum rage
How it relates to postpartum depression
What makes some people more susceptible
How shame can prevent parents from seeking help
What the cycle of anger is
How sleep fits into the equation
Why it’s important to look at anger as a “check engine light”
What steps can be taken to address rage
