Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts: Postpartum Intrusive Thoughts Circle
If you’ve ever had thoughts like: “What if I drop the baby?” What if I hurt my baby by accident?” “What kind of mom thinks like this?”
You are not alone. You are not dangerous. You are not a bad mom. Join Merrisa Little, MSW, RSW, a new mom and founder of OCD North, for an 8-week group program created in collaboration with Serenity Birth Studio. Inspired by the work, Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts by Karen Kleinman, this group offers a safe, supportive, and confidential space for new parents experiencing distressing or unwanted thoughts after having a baby.
Together, we’ll help you:
Understand scary thoughts and learn how to see them for what they are (just thoughts)
Reduce guilt and shame many new moms experience (90% of new parents experience intrusive thoughts!)
Connect with other parents in a supportive, judgement-free space
Build skills to respond to intrusive thoughts with more confidence
Leave with a personalized plan to continue moving forward
