"Beyond the Bump" is a thoughtful and practical guide aimed at helping new mothers feel calm, confident, and prepared to face the physical, emotional, and mental challenges they may encounter after giving birth. Clinical psychologist Sally Shepherd understands that a healthy and happy parent is the most important asset for a baby. However, the first year postpartum can be very challenging. Women must adjust to an entirely new existence, and the transition from "me" to "we" can be daunting for new mothers. Sally had not expected to struggle during this period, and it came as a surprise when she realized it. "Beyond the Bump" focuses on mothers, combining her personal and professional experiences with clinical research to create this essential resource. Covering topics such as rage, relationships, nutrition, identity, and returning to work, it serves as a gentle and important companion for every new mother.
