Abstract: The article focuses on the significance of psychotherapy in supporting new mothers through the transition known as matrescence, which encompasses the profound changes they experience physically, socially, and emotionally after childbirth. It highlights the lack of recognition and support for mothers' mental health within perinatal care, emphasizing that current frameworks often view mothers as secondary to their children's needs. The author discusses the development of Project Matrescence, a therapeutic group program designed to provide a supportive environment for new mothers to share their experiences and explore their identities. The pilot program demonstrated positive outcomes, with participants reporting increased feelings of validation and connection, leading to plans for expanding the initiative across Warwickshire and potentially nationally.
