Intrusive Thoughts with Dr Caroline Boyd

Season 2, Episode 4

"What if the blanket covers baby's face and I don't notice"

"Imagine if I threw my baby down the stairs"

"I could shake you right now"

Intrusive thoughts affect around half of new mums. These thoughts of harm can feel quite terrifying, but are they anything to worry about? What can you do to manage them or where can you seek support?

In this episode I am joined by clinical psychologist Dr Caroline Boyd where she shares her research into Intrusive Thoughts and tells us about her new book 'Mindful New Mum: A Mind-Body Approach to the Highs and Lows of Motherhood'
