Mom Guilt

Friday Dec 02, 2022

Friday Dec 02, 2022

Mom guilt: preoccupation with feeling "not good enough" as a parent/caregiver, questioning your decisions or indecisions about parenting, feeling guilty about taking care of yourself, thinking you might "mess up" your kids.
I talk about my experience with "therapist mom" guilt in this episode.
 
Influencing factors to mom guilt are also addressed: the patriarchy, unfair and unattainable societal norms, and other forms of oppression.
