My Journey as Both a Mother and a Therapist

I was not one of those people who felt the birth of a child was an experience that should be shared only between my husband and I (not that there is anything wrong with that—it’s just not me).

I am very close with both my own family and my in-laws, and they’ve shared in just about every important moment since my daughter joined this world.
