Are you pregnant? Thinking about becoming pregnant or trying to

become pregnant and dealing with anxiety? Or did you experience anxiety in pregnancy? Perhaps it was

anxiety due to the physical symptoms or because you arrived at pregnancy after experiencing

huge reproductive trauma with lots of worry around conception or fertility,

or because for whatever reason, the hormones in pregnancy just drove you into fight or flight

mode. Maybe because we're told it's supposed to be the happiest time in our life,

you thought you would feel amazing and excited and at ease, and instead you were incredibly

on edge, which is so normal and just not widely discussed.

This episode where we explore perinatal anxiety is for you.

I am joined by Michelle Flynn, perinatal psychotherapist and founder of Oncriebioch psychotherapy.

I will include the link to her site in the show notes.

Michelle has a wonderful, gentle way about her and about exploring

this topic and I hope that it's both comforting and useful and of course validating for anyone

either going through this right now or if you have gone through this in the past. Thank you so

much for listening and take care.

Michelle, thank you so much for joining me on owning it the Anxiety podcast.

It's a pleasure to have an expert such as yourself here,

and I think this is going to be a very necessary conversation today.

Thanks for being here.

Thanks so much, Caroline.

It's a pleasure.
