Скачать или смотреть 21: The Postpartum Brain Is Still Your Brain: Nervous System Healing for Working Moms with Atara ...

In this episode of Paging Dr. Mom, I sit down with therapist and integrative practitioner Atara Parkinson to explore why so many mothers continue to struggle long after the postpartum period ends. We talk about how pregnancy and motherhood permanently reshape the brain, why high‑functioning women often stay stuck in fight‑or‑flight, and how nervous system dysregulation and mineral depletion can drive burnout, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Atara explains Brainspotting, therapeutic intensives, and simple, practical ways moms can begin restoring their nervous systems at a cellular level—without adding more pressure or guilt. This is a validating, science‑informed conversation for any working mom who feels depleted but still driven.
