I was not warned about this part.
Before I became a mother, I had a very clear sense of who I was. My work. My relationships. My rhythms. My identity.
And then — birth. And suddenly the person I was before felt both very close and very far away at the same time.
I still had my name, my face, my memories. But something had fundamentally shifted.
What I was experiencing has a name: MATRESCENCE — the psychological, emotional, and identity transformation that happens when a woman becomes a mother. It's as significant as adolescence. And just as disorienting.
You are not losing yourself.
You are becoming someone new. The old you and the new you are meeting — and learning to exist together. It takes time. It takes space. It takes someone who can sit with you in it without trying to rush you through.
That's what The Postpartum Space is for. 🌸

成为妈妈之前,我清楚知道我是谁。
成为妈妈之后——
那个"自己",好像变得有点陌生了。
这不是你想太多。
这是真实发生在每个妈妈身上的转变。
心理学上有个词叫"母性化"(matrescence)——
描述的就是女性成为母亲时,身份认同的深刻转变。
你没有失去自己。你正在成为一个新的你。
产后妈妈的整合空间,就是陪你走过这段旅程的地方。🌸
