Are you healing or are you coping? Of those who responded to our initial BEAM Survey, 76% of mothers and caregivers wanted to access mental health support and only about 45% sought some form of treatment. There's still a stigma around mental health treatment and barriers to access approachable, inclusive care.
In this solo episode, Amy Kugler opens up about her history of counseling and therapy - specifically diving into her stories around her current EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This vulnerable conversation covers pregnancy loss and conversations about high anxiety and depression.
