Training and Consultation for Therapists Working With Mom Burnout
Mom burnout is not just stress.
It is often layered with invisible labour, emotional exhaustion, identity loss, guilt, resentment, perfectionism, relational patterns, cultural expectations, and the pressure to perform motherhood well.
I support therapists who want to deepen their clinical understanding of mom burnout through a psychodynamic, Gestalt-informed, and feminist lens.
This work is for clinicians who want to move beyond surface-level coping strategies and better understand what is happening beneath the overwhelm.
A Deeper Way to Understand Mom Burnout
Many mothers enter therapy saying they are overwhelmed, irritable, anxious, disconnected, or “not coping well.”
But underneath the burnout, there is often a much deeper story.
There may be grief over the self they lost.
Anger that feels unsafe to name.
Resentment buried under guilt.
A lifetime of being the responsible one.
A belief that needing less makes them good.
A fear that choosing themselves means failing the people they love.
This is where deeper clinical work matters.
When we understand mom burnout through a psychodynamic, Gestalt-informed, and feminist lens, we can begin to see the full picture: the client’s internal world, relational patterns, inherited roles, and the cultural systems shaping her experience of motherhood.
