A clinical psychologist's exploration of the modern dilemmas women
face in the wake of new motherhood When Molly Millwood became a
mother, she was fully prepared for what she would gain: an adorable
baby boy; hard-won mothering skills; and a messy, chaotic,
beautiful life. But what she did not expect was what she would
lose: aspects of her identity, a baseline level of happiness, a
general sense of wellbeing. And though she had the benefit of a
supportive husband during this transition, she also at times
resented the fact that the disruption to his life seemed to pale in
comparison to hers. As a clinical psychologist, Molly knew her
experience was a normal response to a life-changing event. But
without the advantage of such a perspective, many of the patients
she treated in her private practice grappled with self-doubt,
guilt, and fear, and suffered the dual pain of not only the
struggle to adjust but also the overwhelming shame for struggling
at all. In To Have and to Hold, Molly explores the complex terrain
of new motherhood, illuminating the ways it affects women
psychologically, emotionally, physically, and professionally-as
well as how it impacts their partnership. Along with the arrival of
a bundle of joy come thorny issues such as self-worth, control,
autonomy, and dependency. And for most new mothers, these issues
are experienced within the context of an intimate relationship,
adding another layer of tension, conflict, and confusion to an
already challenging time. As Molly examines the inextricable link
between women's well-being as new mothers and the well-being of
their relationships, she offers guidance to help readers reclaim
their identities, overcome their guilt and shame, and repair their
relationships. A blend of personal narrative, scientific research,
and stories from Molly's clinical practice, To Have and to Hold
provides a much-needed lifeline to new mothers everywhere.
