Learning to Let Go of Control as a New Mum

WATCH ON-DEMAND | £22

In this 1-hour workshop taught by Sophie Harris, Postpartum Psychotherapist, you’ll learn actionable steps for reducing perfectionism, letting go of control, and feeling less anxious in new motherhood. Sophie has been where you are before and has helped hundreds of new mums struggling with control and anxiety in the postpartum period.

Does this sound like you?

A new mum who does EVERYTHING, finding yourself micro-managing when someone else is looking after your baby, even if it’s your partner. You put high standards on yourself (& sometimes others!), and then beat yourself up when you can't meet these expectations.You can get overwhelmed by aspects of parenting such as trying to meet nap schedules or weaning and fixate on details trying to control every aspect of your baby’s routine. You are exhausted and desperate for a break but can’t imagine letting someone else look after your baby.


This workshop is for you if:

  • You’re a “perfectionist” or anxious new (or new-ish) mum 

  • You’re finding it hard to let go of control

  • You have a hard time letting others care for your baby

  • You struggle accepting help 

  • You desperately want a break but can’t let go of doing things “your way”

  • You’re finding it hard to be flexible with your baby’s schedule, feeds, sleep etc.

What will you leave with?

  • Ideas for managing anxiety around your baby being looked after by someone else (inc: partner, family or other childcare).

  • Strategies create a more flexible approach to parenting (eg: naps) 

  • Ways to communicate your feelings and wishes for healthier relationships with your partner or other caregivers

If any of these points sound like you, then come and join us at 7.30pm GMT on Wednesday 24/04/2024. If you can’t make this time, you will be sent a recording and can watch this at anytime.
