Parenthood is often depicted as a time of joy, love, and fulfillment. However, for many new parents, the reality can be quite different, especially in the initial weeks following childbirth. The period known as "baby blues" affects a significant number of parents and can have a profound impact on their mental health.

October holds profound significance for many, especially for those who have faced the deep sorrow of losing a pregnancy or an infant. Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month is an important time to honor these memories, provide support to grieving families, and raise awareness about the emotional struggles linked to such losses.

Hormones are often associated with physical changes, such as growth spurts in adolescence, supporting a pregnancy or the hot flashes of menopause. However, their influence extends far beyond the physical, playing a crucial role in shaping our mental health.

Boundaries are about defining what you need to feel safe, respected, and supported.

Data plays a pivotal role in guiding counselors and therapists to provide more effective support to their clients.

At Cactus Bloom Counseling we aim to provide compassionate care to help you or someone you love navigate the aftermath of a pregnancy loss.
