There is also the process of adjusting to the loss of pre-baby freedom as women find themselves more restrained by the responsibilities of looking after a baby. Loneliness, monotony and tiredness due to interrupted sleep can lead to feelings of stress and frustration as mothers feel they are struggling to live up to the “ideal” mother stereotype.

What is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and How Does it Work?
What is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)?
An Introduction to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used psychological therapies. It focuses on the way people think, feel and act to help them overcome their emotional and behavioural problems.
CBT aims to alleviate people’s symptoms and distress as quickly as possible and prevent problems from recurring by:
- Training them to identify unhelpful thought patterns, perceptions and behaviours
- Helping them develop flexible, non-extreme and self-helping thoughts, beliefs and behaviours, and
- Providing them with knowledge, skills and strategies that can be used to prevent recurrences of their problems and apply them to other challenges in life.
