"This is a brilliant adaptation of the IFS model of therapy; addressing 'Mom Parts' is a groundbreaking way to help mothers improve their mental health. When Good Moms Feel Bad is a must-read."
--Richard Schwartz, PhD, creator of Internal Family Systems and author of No Bad Parts

In a first-of-its-kind practical guide rooted in the groundbreaking IFS therapeutic model, two maternal mental health experts help moms untangle complicated feelings like anger, guilt, shame, and failure, offering empathy and support.

Moms have it hard; whether due to ingrained beliefs, the pressures of everything from social expectations to social media, or our own childhood wounds, even the best moms can feel like they are failing. With empathy, compassion, and deep wisdom, maternal health experts Jessica Tomich Sorci and Rebecca Geshuri address difficult and often suppressed feelings such as anxiety, anger, shame and guilt, as well as disappointment, ambivalence about being a mom, and yearning for your "old" life.

Tomich Sorci and Geshuri help any mom anywhere to identify these pain points, make sense of her distress, and begin to find relief. Their revelatory approach validates the unique suffering moms experience and offers reinterpretations that bring hope and empowerment. Filled with exercises, strategies, and step-by-step guidance, When Good Moms Feel Bad shows you empowering ways to access your abundant inner resources begin building self-trust. You're already a good mom. Start discovering how your harshest internal voices are trying to help you--and befriend the parts of yourself that you've been fighting.
