“While we underscore the notion that a postpartum woman may not be interested in therapy, we shift our focus to what she does want. Symptom relief. Pure and simple. That’s it. She does not want to talk about how feelings of abandonment might be contributing to her sense of inadequacy. Nor does she want to explore how her impaired relationship with her mother might have impacted her self-esteem. She wants to sleep, to think clearly, to feel less anxious, and to stop crying all day. She wants to return to her previous level of functioning so she can get on with the business in her life.” (Kleiman, 2008)
