I felt validated and heard. The therapists were very good and supportive. I liked the connection with the other moms and that my partner could be involved. I also felt safe to start medication with the ability to see Dr. Kim throughout the week.
When I started the program I was in such a deep depression and my anxiety felt all consuming. I never thought I’d be able to really be a mom. I felt like I wasn’t good enough, strong enough, brave enough, or capable enough to parent a child while I felt so broken inside. The weeks spent at the program changed my life forever.
I loved the amount of time I was given to tell my story and receive advice from the therapists and the group.
The staff understand how you can feel bad and still care about your baby, even If you can’t always show it
I loved that I met people who were going through the same thing as me.
