When Good Moms Feel Bad: An Empowering Guide for Transforming Guilt, Anxiety, and Anger Into Compassion, Confidence, and Connectedness - Hardcover
Synopsis
"This is a brilliant adaptation of the IFS model of therapy; addressing 'Mom Parts' is a groundbreaking way to help mothers improve their mental health. When Good Moms Feel Bad is a must-read."
--Richard Schwartz, PhD, creator of Internal Family Systems and author of No Bad Parts
Moms have it hard; whether it's ingrained beliefs, the pressures of everything from social expectations to social media, or their own childhood wounds, even the best moms can feel like they are flailing--and failing. Psychotherapists and moms Jessica Tomich Sorci and Rebecca Geshuri see this every day in their practices. With compassion, humor and paradoxical wisdom, Tomich Sorci and Geshuri address difficult and often suppressed emotions such as: fear, anger, guilt, disappointment, ambivalence, and the shame and grief that ubiquitously accompany motherhood. In the first book applying Internal Family Systems to motherhood, they share their revelatory adaptation of IFS to validate these feelings, helping moms to accept and work through them. Introducing the concept of "parts" as well as the techniques of unblending (separating from reactions and recognizing them as parts) and befriending (bringing warmth and curiosity to individual parts), Tomich Sorci and Geshuri's simple and practical program offers a way for any mom anywhere to identify her pain points, make sense of her distress--and begin to find relief.
