Hey there, I’m Bryce .therapist I share about motherhood and mental health.
A few weeks ago in my stories I asked you what some of your “unmet needs” are in this season of motherhood. This graphic is sharing some of the top things that you all submitted.
You felt that these things were big contributors to your feelings of anger in motherhood, and I bet you’re right.
Anger is kind of like the check engine light in your car, it’s letting you know there’s something you need to look into. And when we’re talking about anger, that “something you need to look into” is often an unmet need that needs some attention.
Do you relate to anything in this graphic? Is there an unmet on here that you notice is a big contributor to your anger? What would you add to this list?
