The Mommy Therapists

21 - The Husband Episode

The Mommy Therapists take a break from their regular routine and instead interview their husbands, Zack and Derek. They discuss topics from identity shifts in fatherhood to postpartum struggles as a "helpless" partner. Between funny quips and ridiculous idioms, the husbands open up and share vulnerable moments of despair and fear and give a window into the perspective of what your partner may be feeling on the other side. We invite you to share this with your partner, and discuss their own responses to some of the questions asked. They're ready for you!
