Episode 21: Momma, you are enough with Dr Claire Nicogossian

On this episode of the Health Ignited Podcast, Drs. Nick and Sonya Jensen sit down with Dr. Claire Nicogossian, a licensed clinical psychologist and Clinical Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University for an important conversation about thriving in motherhood by embracing our shadow emotions.

 

Dr. Claire shares her insights about navigating the sometimes difficult space of motherhood with compassion for the entirety of the experience, including the inevitable (and natural) moments of worry, fear and anxiety. We discuss tools for supporting ourselves and our partner as we support our children in their own growth and development, understanding that self care, patience, humility and forgiveness must be extended to ourselves and not only to our loved ones in order to find this balance. Dr. Claire reminds us that “a healthy, happy mother is the greatest gift to a child”, and that we can only show up this way by offering ourselves the grace and acceptance to be exactly as we are, honouring both the immense beauty and the many challenges of motherhood.
