«El libro que todas las madres necesitamos leer». Sonia Encinas Un libro que te ayudará a poner palabras a tus emociones --a aquello que sientes y te cuesta reconocer-- para que puedas vivir tu maternidad en plenitud.>Hemos creado un imaginario sobre la experiencia materna en el que solo cabe la felicidad, pero la realidad es bien distinta: sentir miedo, tristeza, culpa e, incluso, frustración es mucho más habitual de lo que imaginas. No eres la única que lo siente. No estás sola. Nos faltan espacios en los que las madres podamos nombrar todo lo que nos pasa, las luces y las sombras de la maternidad, y toda la gama de matices que hay en medio. Este libro es un recorrido honesto por las emociones que acompañan al embarazo, al parto, al posparto y también a los posibles duelos. Desde mi propia experiencia maternando a dos niñas y acompañando a madres en terapia, mi intención es que encuentres alivio, que entiendas un poco más tus emociones, que no las silencies, que no te juzgues por sentir. Ojalá que con esta lectura aprendas a acompañarte y a aceptarte en medio de tanta transformación. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "The book that all of us mothers need to read." --Sonia Encinas A book that will help you verbalize your emotions --what you feel and have a hard time recognizing-- so that you can experience motherhood to the fullest. During pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, we go through changes beyond the purely physical. We not only change on the outside but also on the inside. We have been taught that we must avoid uncomfortable emotions, but how can we do that in such an intense life-changing process as motherhood? We have created an image concerning the maternal experience in which we should only feel happiness, but the reality is quite different: feeling fear, sadness, guilt, and even frustration is also very common while nurturing a baby. You are not alone. Indeed, we don't have enough space where we can talk about everything that happens to us, the ups and downs of motherhood, and the whole range of nuances in between. This book is an honest journey through the emotions that accompany pregnancy like childbirth, postpartum, and, sometimes, mourning. It is born from my own experience as a mother of two girls and my sessions with many mothers in therapy. I hope that you find relief reading it, that you understand your emotions a little more instead of silencing them, and that you do not judge yourself for your feelings. I hope that with this reading you learn to take care and accept yourself amid so much change.
