Research Spotlight Series #3 – Taking care of your own mental health as a parent: Understanding the impact of early patterns of thinking and feeling
Schema therapy is a therapeutic model used to treat mental health problems in adults. It proposes that early interactions with parents shape an individual’s view of themselves and the world, influencing their emotional experiences and relationships. In this research, Joanna explores the impact of these recalled early parenting interactions on new mothers during the postnatal period, particularly focusing on their mood and perceived competence in the mothering role. This understanding can then inform ways to support the mental health of parents.
