Dr. Kendra Gottschall: Reflect Therapy

08/04/2026

Matrescence

A “normal” stage of development, comparable to adolescence. The developmental transition to motherhood was first noted in the 1970s by Dr. Dana Raphael. The exact length of matrescence is different with each individual, reoccurs with each child born and may last a lifetime. Changes include biological, social, emotional, political, spiritual and more (Athen, 2016).

If this concept speaks to you, and you’ve been struggling, I have a few openings for therapy coming up later in August. Shoot me a message, email or call 9026005126 [email protected]

It’s been a while and things are always changing over here but this is an important message I felt needed to be shared 💗

You do not owe explanations to anyone about your healing. This journey is entirely yours—a private, messy, beautiful process that isn't meant for public review. Sometimes people expect a neat story, a quick fix, or a “happy ever after,” but the truth is your healing unfolds on its own timeline, and you don’t need to justify every step.

Your scars tell stories only you truly understand. They are not blemishes that need to be hidden; they are chapters in your life that speak of pain endured, battles fought, and quiet moments of strength that only you can fully grasp. Every faded line is proof that you’ve survived when no one else believed you could, and that you have grown in ways that no one else can see.

So keep your healing to yourself if that feels right. Embrace each scar as a part of your unique story, knowing that you are still here, still moving forward, even if the world expects a different narrative. Your worth isn’t measured by how quickly you recover, but by the courage it takes to live with every piece of yourself, scars included.
