Stepmothers
As a stepmother myself, I understand the unique identity and role confusion that can take place when becoming a stepmother. The first step is to gain understanding and awareness around what is “normal.” A stepmother can feel isolated, frustrated, and depressed due to frequent conflict with her partner, emotions towards her step kids, and drama with his ex. Therapy can provide a safe space for processing difficult emotions, developing effective communication strategies and conflict resolution techniques, and learning the skill of radical acceptance.
