Summary

Baby-proof the house; panic-proof the mum.

Do you overthink what you said to the mum in the supermarket queue? Is your internal dialogue more critical than kind? Perhaps you wake to check your baby is breathing, or the sight of a rash sends you down an internet search rabbit hole. Whatever your level of anxiety, however much it impacts your life, this audiobook is for you.

Anxiety is making motherhood a less pleasant, more fraught and pressured experience, and we do not have to accept joy-sapping worry and energy-draining overthinking as part of the motherhood job description. In Mind Over Mother, Anna Mathur, psychotherapist and mum of three, explains how to:

  • Understand anxiety, why it affects you and what to do about it
  • Make your mind a kinder, calmer, happier place to be
  • Transform your motherhood experience by addressing your thinking

The most powerful tool Anna has to communicate this isn't the letters after her name, it is the fact that she is open about her own experience of maternal anxiety. By sharing her journey, she gives you the confidence to reframe yours.

Mind Over Mother is full of light bulb moments of realisation. It will have you learning, laughing and loving yourself through the journey of motherhood. You will learn to address the most important conversation you'll ever have - the one inside your head, because investing in your mental health is the best gift you can offer yourself and your baby.

Enjoyed reading this, the author is very warm and encouraging. Worth reading just for the salesman analogy on intrusive thoughts which I found very helpful.

I picked this book on Audible's 2for1 sale just to use up my credit, not expecting anything. It went from nice to good to great to a voice speaking directly to me. It pointed out things that I was barely aware of. Those meaningless acts of self-harm I have indulged in since forever, like not drinking when I'm thirsty, mean something and I'm going to start changing that because of this book. Yes, I would recommend this book to anyone!

A book for anyone with anxiety and self-loathing

I love Anna’s books, they are so easily digestible and make me feel like a friend is comforting me. I feel like this book is great for anxiety in general, not just relating to motherhood. Anna gives out so many useful tips and techniques. I’m planning to come back to it often.

Very useful !
