In today's episode I am joined by Dr Jenna Brough, perinatal clinical psychologist, specialising in supporting people through the perinatal period.  We explore: Preparing for the impact that new parenthood might have on your relationshipHow the landscape in which we are parenting impacts our relationshipsTraditional gender roles How parenthood impacts intimacy Communication and how to improve itLove LanguagesBirth trauma and it's impact on relationshipsNB: Some (not all) of this conversation focuses on a hetrosexual (Male & Female/ Dad & Mum) partnership, in order to explore some of the traditional gender roles and sexism that impact romantic heterosexual relationships. Of course not all families will be 2 parent or heterosexual, hopefully still lots here that anyone in a relationship with their child's other parent can take away! ____________________________________________________________ Dr Jenna Brough Links Website: https://www.drjennapsychologist.com/ Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6uZ30WckY4PRlMUuxQ7XRw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.jenna.psychologist/ ______________________________________________ SPONSORS This episode is sponsored by Little List and The Night Owl, Music and Lullabies for Babies and Children Start your list with Little List today!
