Katie's Crib

How to Deal with Mom Brain w/ Dr. Dobrow DiMarco

Katie invites Clinical Psychologist Dr. Dobrow DiMarco (author of "Mom Brain: Proven Strategies to Fight the Anxiety, Guilt, and Overwhelming Emotions of Motherhood—and Relax Into Your New Self”) onto the show to talk all about “mom brain.”  That’s right, moms: it’s a real thing. Dr. Dobrow DiMarco reveals the importance of mindfulness and forgiving oneself. She also shares examples of “subtle” in-person judgments that mothers receive due to mom brain, and types of CBT strategies they can use to help reduce the forgetfulness that they can experience after the birth of their children.  Plus, have you ever wondered what you could do if your child is causing you to have anxiety during outings (e.g., vacation, holidays)?
