Motherhood is hard enough without shame on top.

Cognitive Regulation perspective

CR for the postpartum window is gentle and paced to fit real life with an infant. Short, structured, and coordinated with your OB / pediatrician when needed.

Common signs

  • Persistent low mood or numbness weeks after the birth.
  • Feeling disconnected from the baby or from yourself.
  • Intrusive thoughts that scare you.
  • Guilt that you're 'not enjoying this like you should'.

This is common, treatable, and not your fault

Postpartum depression affects roughly 1 in 7 mothers in India. It responds well to treatment. Reaching out is a strength.
