Synopsis

The baby is asleep. You are still awake, listening for every breath.

You check the monitor. Then you check it again. The doctor said the baby is fine, but your body hasn't received the message. By morning you're exhausted from worrying, and ashamed that motherhood feels this frightening.

You are not failing. You are anxious, overtired, and carrying more than one nervous system was built to hold.

Written by clinical psychologist Dr. Jana Rundle, this is a practical guide for new mothers whose minds will not switch off. It was built for the 3 AM searches, the intrusive thoughts you're afraid to tell anyone about, the panic at the pediatrician's office, and the moments your partner asks "what can I do?" and you don't know where to start.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Settle your body while a crying baby is in your arms
• Interrupt a catastrophic thought before it picks up speed
• Understand intrusive thoughts without treating them as predictions
• Get through the night when your rational brain is running on fumes
• Ask for specific help without apologizing for needing it
• Explain postpartum anxiety to a partner, family member, or doctor

This book will not ask you to become serene, grateful, or perfectly organized. It gives you things to try when you're tired, scared, touched out, and still responsible for a small person.

Includes: exercises in every chapter, Quick Reference Calm Cards, emergency resources, and a partner chapter you can hand to someone who loves you but doesn't yet understand.
