Therapy for Postpartum Rage in Ontario
How did I get so angry?
Rage is rarely talked about amongst the 1-7 moms who experience postpartum depression/anxiety
It's more common than you think.
If you’ve found yourself snapping over things that never used to bother you, struggling to hold back the irritation boiling under the surface, or feeling like you’re on the verge of a meltdown over the smallest thing—you’re not the only one.
It's followed by a flood of shame.
Postpartum rage can show up suddenly and hit harder than you ever expected. One moment, you’re holding it together, and the next, you’re yelling, slamming doors, or gripping the counter just trying to keep from exploding. Then comes the shame spiral—Why did I just do that? What’s wrong with me?—and the cycle starts all over again.
The pressure to be the perfect mom is relentless.
You're pushing to get everything just right—but the more you try, the more overwhelming it gets. The crying, the mess, the mental load—it all builds until rage takes over. You snap, then guilt hits. Why can’t I handle this?
This isn’t about being weak or ungrateful.
Postpartum rage is real, and it has nothing to do with how much you love your baby.
It’s about depletion.
Overwhelm.
The mental load that never shuts off.
And the fact that no one ever warned you how intense this part of motherhood could be.
