Episode description

In today's episode of Psych Talk I welcome back Gabby Morreale, LPC, a licensed therapist specializing in eating disorders and currently transitioning into maternal mental health. Gabby and I have a raw and honest conversation about postpartum body image. Gabby describes many of the struggles individuals face in the postpartum period when it comes to their body and body image, as well as societal messages that individuals receive about their postpartum body. Gabby spends a lot of time discussing "bounce back culture" the belief that bodies should "bounce back" to pre-pregnancy size quickly. Gabby discusses letting go of expectations surrounding your postpartum body, acceptance of your body, and coping with changes. Additionally, Gabby provides listeners with tips to take care of themselves and their body in the postpartum period.
