Episode 169

In this episode Cath speaks about the expression of mixed feelings in motherhood and how we may move between two positions. With childhood trauma we may have more intense swings and not have much access to a ‘middle ground’.Cath looks at how we label ourselves and challenges the notion of linking our emotional states to stories of us as mothers. She shares some of her own experiences and an anecdote about changing after swimming. As always go gently with yourself.The book Cath references in the podcast is called 'Torn in Two' by Rozsika Parker.If you're enjoying this podcast.
