This slim volume or long pamphlet is not intended to be comprehensive but more to provide comfort at the preliminary or perfunctory level possible (what's the positive version of perfunctory?), help point mums suffering from PPAD in a healing direction, and gather some further resources. It does that well, and if you don't know much about anxiety and depression already, the discussion will be useful. As someone trying to give support in a PPAD situation, the best thing for me was to get it repeated again and again and again that your (my) role is not to fix the situation or offer advice but just to listen and be kind. We all know this since reading about what men and women want in our grandma's Reader's Digest when we were eight, of course, but it's one of everyday life's harder disciplines to actualize. I think especially because when you're not suffering from PPAD-type paralysis, the natural thing when things aren't good and you're trying to make them better is to do something (or maybe I should just speak for me, that's my inclined response)--and when you're intimately involved with someone in this situation, refraining from trying to help/push/jolly/whatever them along means not only that you're respecting that this is something that they have to do themselves, but also that your life will not be normal or all right until they do: giving exclusive power to take actions to make your own circumstances tolerable to the one person who's really not capable of taking action of any sort, let alone that specific sort, right now. Sorry to use this review to blow off steam. I guess the best answer I've come up with for people who are more-or-less emotionally intact in situations like this is to be kind and "just cope," and I'm not sure how useful that is. But I don't mean to hijack here. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Revised for the seventh edition, and called a "gem" by Mothering magazine, our book has sold over 30,000 copies to date. This is a practical guide for mothers who are experiencing postpartum depression and anxiety. The book is based on the experiences of thousands of women and describes what has helped them get through this difficult time. From the introduction: The idea for this book came from the realization that many women are suffering from some degree of postpartum depression and that very few will find access to supportive care while going through it. Some of our own mothers are only now feeling safe enough to talk about their experiences and describe how alone and crazy they felt. The material in this book is based on over thirty years of counselling thousands of women with postpartum depression. These women have willingly shared their experiences with each other, and together they have explored what has helped them. It is their knowledge, wisdom, courage and generosity that has made this book possible. Emphasis has been put on those common threads which run through the experience of postpartum depression. The term "perinatal depression" is being used to describe postpartum depression in many newer research, journals and publications. It is an umbrella term that better reflects the fact that symptoms can begin during pregnancy as well as postpartum. In this book we refer to "postpartum depression", which fits under the more general category of "perinatal" symptoms. As you read, keep in mind that you are going to survive this. However hopeless you may feel, try to remember that it will end. Women grow and change as they cope with their depression. After it is all over, many women say they are glad they went through the experience. As one woman said, "I never thought I'd get through it but I did and I feel great. I know much more about myself. Now I enjoy my baby and I feel peaceful." No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
