Group Therapy Can Be a Lifeline for New Moms
September 8, 2025
When you picture therapy, you probably imagine sitting one-on-one with a therapist, spilling your guts, and leaving with a box of tissues and some homework. That’s powerful. But sometimes,
group therapy is the real game-changer.
Here’s Why Groups Hit Different
- Instant “me too” moments:- The thought you’ve been too scared to say out loud? Someone else in the circle has thought it too. That “oh my gosh, me too” moment melts shame in seconds. Suddenly, you’re not broken—you’re human.
- You learn faster:- In individual therapy, you work through your own stuff. In a group, you hear what’s working for other moms. It’s like swapping parenting hacks, but for your nervous system.
- You practice skills in real time:- Learning how to calm anxiety, handle intrusive thoughts, or set boundaries with family? A group gives you a safe space to practice before you try it at home.
- It feels like a community (because it is one):- Motherhood is isolating. Group therapy is like having a team. You’re all in it together, cheering each other on through the messy middle.
What Moms Actually Say
I’ve had moms tell me:
- “I thought I was the only one who hated breastfeeding.”
- “I feel so much calmer knowing I’m not the only one losing my patience.”
- "I actually look forward to the group because it’s the one space I don’t have to pretend.”
That’s the power of being seen.

Parenting a middle schooler can feel like a part-time job in crisis management. One minute your kid is fine, the next they’re in tears because of a TikTok or a friendship fallout. Doing it all on your own? Exhausting.
Let’s be real: middle school is already a wild ride. But if your child was in kindergarten, first, or second grade during COVID, you’re parenting in a whole new ball game.
You had the baby. Everyone is dropping off casseroles, sending “congratulations” texts, and telling you how happy you must be. And sure, there are sweet moments. But if you’re being honest? You feel nothing like yourself. You’re crying in the shower, snapping at your partner over nothing, and googling “am I a bad mom?”
