Therapy for Mom Rage & Overwhelm

in Cape Girardeau & all of Missouri

You wake up already behind. How is that even possible??
Your to-do list is laughing at you as you add more to it.
Screen time is your babysitter. You think, “Thanks, Ms. Rachel, you’re a real one.”
You just love it when you are hit with one more thing that needs your attention.
The grocery haul from Wal-Mart that you picked up yesterday had all the foods your kids will actually eat. But that was what they liked yesterday, today they hate those foods. Ew, how dare you.
Also, no, your toddler wants the blue cup, not that cup. Sheesh, can’t you read their minds?
Patience was something you had once but they don’t sell that on Amazon anymore, apparently.
A husband? Yeah, you have one of those. He’s not the enemy but he also doesn’t share your same sense of urgency. Like…about anything. And that’s annoying.

Right on cue, although never welcomed:
- An all-too-familiar saga of screaming, yelling, demanding and threatening words are coming from your mouth.
Next comes the part that pours metaphorical salt into your wounds:
- Guilt, Shame and Blame. The three amigos. They always seem to have a lot to say.
And, until further notice, your brain will stay in, “Am I screwing my kids up” mode.
- Your brain wonders, “Am I just repeating the cycle I experienced in my childhood? What am I doing? What did I get myself into? They deserve better.”

Manage the rage and overwhelm.
Increase confidence to make clear decisions.
Debunk old belief systems that are no longer productive.
Not slow down the hustle, but find more support while in the hustle.
Detach from toxic beliefs taught in childhood.
Now that the adulthood and motherhood era has started, reevaluate connections with difficult family members.
Learn that being the best mom, friend, spouse, employee has a new look to it now, one with less shame and guilt.
Allow the whole body to get on board with the idea that always having a spotless home, an upstanding reputation at work, and well-behaved kids was never the path to being truly good enough.
