Stormy Waters — Paperback

Description

Stormy Waters is an essential intervention for new parents navigating extreme distress postpartum. Honest and compassionate, this tender guidebook clears a path of dignity and humanity through experiences that might get labeled as ‘psychosis.’

Bringing new life into the world is an incredible journey, and for some this includes intense and unusual experiences that defy understanding. It is incredibly rare to find supports for these kinds of experiences that do not start with an assumption of pathology or illness. This writing is a tremendous gift to anyone in the midst of emotional, mental or spiritual crisis after giving birth. It also includes a section especially for family members and loved ones.

Troyer-Karas invites the reader to honor the profound possibilities within these widely misunderstood experiences, without losing sight of the need for prompt care and attention during these extraordinarily challenging times. With clarity, she offers assurance and insight that come directly from making it through herself.

Whatever brings you to this writing, may you find ease, nourishment and moments of peace amidst the swirling chaos of these uncharted and stormy waters. May you experience wholeness, connection and freedom as you find your way through.
