  • 432: From Pain to Purpose: Building Resources for Perinatal Mental Health After Birth Trauma with Beth Partain, LCSW
    2025/07/28
    Today’s guest is sharing her story as a survivor of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and birth trauma caused by random placental abruption. She is also a NICU mama who learned to balance parenting with the start of her psychotherapy practice to bring therapy to a rural area. Her story has multi-faceted, beautiful parts, and we are honored to have her here. Beth Partain is a licensed clinical social worker and the mother of three beautiful children. She founded Flourish Counseling and Consulting in 2020 to empower women and bring specialized perinatal expertise to an area where it was previously inaccessible. Her passion stemmed from her experience with the local hospital as she struggled through PPD, PPA, and birth/NICU trauma. Beth is the first mental health provider in Owensboro, KY, and the western Kentucky area to have a perinatal mental health certification. She serves on the new Maternal Health Council at her hospital and is a Blue Dot Ambassador, working in advocacy with the Maternal Mental Health Leadership Alliance. She has led two PSI Climbs in Owensboro. Beth works hard to help train local healthcare workers and therapists to identify PMADs from a trauma-informed care focus. Show Highlights: Beth’s story: Her first pregnancy was normal until a random placental abruption at 34 weeks forced an emergency C-section, a three-week NICU stay, and almost zero mental health support. Placental abruption: what it is, how it is detected, and the results Beth’s shock and surprise at how quickly things changed and progressed to an unexpected birth, and navigating a NICU stay for her baby Looking back at the mental health struggles for Beth and her husband, with no support Beth’s realization that she had postpartum depression and anxiety, but did not have access to help Finding help and starting therapy (as a therapist) Making the difficult decision to have another child and grow their family further Beth’s commitment to bringing perinatal care to her rural area and training more providers in the care that she wished she could have had Making connections and partnering with PSI Great strides of progress and encouraging outcomes in changing the PNMH climate in Beth’s area of Kentucky Resources: Flourish Counseling and Consulting Connect with Beth Partain: Facebook Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

  • 431: Behind the Sessions: Letting go of Guilt About Not Being Present in Postpartum
    2025/07/24
    Today’s episode explores a crucial topic that warrants our attention. We are discussing the after-effects of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and perinatal mental health conditions. The lingering sense of guilt, sadness, regret, grief, anger, and frustration comes as a result of feeling that you weren’t present during the postpartum time. How much time does it take to “make up” for that time that you felt disconnected and anything but joyful about motherhood? Do you feel that you missed important milestones in your baby’s life? All of these are important questions that many mothers wrestle with in a constant mental battle. Let’s take a closer look. Show Highlights: Where does the unreasonable pressure come from? Are you punishing yourself? The truth: You WERE there in all the ways you could manage at the time. You do acts of love and caring, even if you don’t feel like doing them. What you need now is what you needed then: compassion, support, and loving thoughts. Self-compassion brings gentleness into the picture. Healing needs to happen (and that means allowing yourself to grieve). Dr. Kat leads a healing exercise to try on your own. (Try it!) Your healing is valid and worthwhile, even if you can’t see it yourself.

  • 430: When Suffering is Minimized: The Journey Through Undiagnosed Pregnancy and Postpartum Mood Disorders with Alyssa Verge
    2025/07/21
    We are hearing Alyssa’s story in today’s episode. She shares her experience with postpartum anxiety, depression, and OCD, as well as her lifelong battle for mental health. We’ve discussed many times on the podcast that a history of mental health issues is a significant risk factor for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Because Alyssa did not get the help she needed when she needed it most, she has become a passionate advocate and supporter of other moms and families facing these issues. Alyssa Verge is a 31-year-old mom of a two-year-old and the stepmom of an eight-year-old. After her child was born, she was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety and eventually with postpartum OCD. She’s passionate about mental health and healing generational trauma. Show Highlights: The birth story of Alyssa’s son, when she felt the “baby blues” immediately after his birth Being told everything she was feeling was “normal,” even though she was sincere and open about her experience Alyssa’s husband finally found a therapist for her because he knew this couldn’t be normal. Alyssa’s relief when she found out her feelings weren’t normal, and she was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety The prevalence of OCD, which wasn’t identified for several months Unnatural fears about leaving the house and getting sick OCD was manifested in her body’s refusal to take medication, even though it was what she wanted to do to get better. Therapy tools that didn’t help for Alyssa: exposure therapy, scripts, positive brain talk Feeling guilty for being a burden and not being able to get better Finding balance in looking for support, with boundaries Alyssa’s advice to others about accepting “normal,” having patience, and finding help Resources: Connect with Alyssa Verge: Instagram Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.
