Great Resource,
What a wonderful resource! The authors of this book clearly saw a need and the filled it. As a Clinical Psychologist I can say that there are many books out there about postpartum depression and far fewer resources for postpartum anxiety. It is not easy to write a book that takes current psychological research findings and puts it into a format that the accessible to everyone, but the authors have done this seamlessly. The book is full of easy to use checklists and worksheets and has information on both mild and more intense forms of anxiety. It walks the reader through the basics of relaxation skills and how to identify and challenge anxiety-inducing thoughts. The more specialized chapters, like the ones on post-partum post-traumatic stress, panic, and obsessive compulsive disorder will be particularly useful for those searching for a focused self-help worksheets in these areas. The best thing about this book that it is easy to use, research-based, and brief! What a great resource for busy moms who are experiencing post-partum anxiety!

|Excellent CBT Reminders,
This is the essential refresher for any pregnant or new parent that has ever had cognitive behavioral therapy. I like to remain on top of my OCD, so that it doesn’t get on top of me, and this book was a great help. Even though I was prepared for my anxiety to peak after giving birth, and even though I also countered it with meds, this book was a *wonderful* help to keep my thoughts and coping strategies in order. Absolutely *great* CBT ideas for anxious parents (or parents-to-be).
