Mama's Toolbox: A Holistic Guide to Coping with Postpartum Depression and Anxiety

Claire Robison Swift knows what you’re going through. She wrote this book based exclusively on her own experience with postpartum depression and anxiety, the research she did, and everything that she personally implemented to combat these unwanted feelings. These tips appear nowhere else all together!

The first to admit that she threw “everything including the kitchen sink” at PPD (Postpartum Depression), Swift has written a comprehensive guide to the (often unexpected) tools she discovered along the way to help new mothers face these feelings. She strongly recommends talking to your doctor as a first line of defense (and even offers easy scripts to follow for different situations!), and provides a similar useful technique to communicating your feelings to your partner.

Ever the skeptic, she also offers some tips that she readily admits aren’t grounded in science or research (though some that are!) but that, for whatever reason, worked for her.

With sections like Pressure Points, Crucial Nutrition, Mantras, and Essential Oils, Swift takes her readers on a fun journey through great ways of coping with these unwanted and intrusive feelings. This book proudly nurtures the connection between mind and body, and invites curious readers to be proactive in their health. There is help out there for you, and this is just one fantastic resource!
