What I've Really Been Up To

So something I didn't tell you about my new therapist is that she also specializes in sex therapy, and that is why I am seeing her. Out of respect for me, my husband, and our marriage I'm not going to go into details on here. About 9 years ago my OB/GYN suggested that I see a sex therapist, and I was like no way! Because this is how I kinda pictured what a sex therapist would be.

Meet Ina "Laughing" Winds

A little too much for me! Years went by. Had two more babies. Depression, anxiety, PPOCD, blah, blah, blah, and blah. Sex therapy was the last thing on my mind. Well over the last several months it has been on my mind so I brought it up with my PPD therapist and she said go for it. It is time to deal with these other issues. So I started searching on line for someone who would be a good fit for me, and I think I've found her.

Meet Dr. Lisa Gold

She is 2 miles down the road from where I live, and we have the same beliefs. We have only met once so far, but I totally feel like she understands where I am coming from. Everything she said made so much sense, and she is confident that she can help us.

So there you have it. I'm not going to be seeing the PPD therapist anymore unless I absolutely have to. She says it gets too messy seeing 2 therapists at the same time, and that there really isn't a whole lot more work for her to do with me anyways. I'm proud of the progress I have made over the last 2 years. I am in a place where I can finally say that I feel like I have recovered from PPOCD. I didn't think that would ever happen.  I will continue to go to the PPD support group to give support to other mom's, and I love volunteering for the warmline. Educating others on Perinatal Mood Disorders will always be my passion!

Have a great week!
