Why has motherhood made me feel so overstimulated?

Have you felt overstimulated as a parent? I think we’ve all been there. I welcome Dr. Cassidy who is a licensed marriage and family therapist to talk about overstimulation in parenthood (and especially motherhood). 

We discuss: 

• What overstimulation looks like in parenthood 
• The important first step in managing overstimulation 
• Coping mechanisms for overstimulation 
• What not to do when overstimulated
