What's Your Motherhood Regulation Pattern?

Understand what happens when motherhood becomes too much, and discover what might actually help you come back to yourself.

Each mum has her own patterns when she's overwhelmed.

You might shut down. You might keep pushing. You might feel completely flooded. You might keep everyone else going while quietly running on empty.

There’s no right or wrong answer here.

Just choose the one that feels most like you most of the time.

I shut down, zone out or feel numb.

I keep going. I’ll deal with myself later.

I bounce between everything at once and feel completely scattered.

I focus on everyone else’s needs and forget my own.

Quiet. Space. No one needing anything from me.

A quick win so I can feel like I'm back on top of things.

A chance to clear my head and work out what needs doing.

Someone safe to talk to who actually gets it.

Feeling disconnected from myself.

Feeling like I’m always switched on.

My brain never seems to stop.

Saying no, asking for what I need, or holding boundaries.

Exhausted and a bit far away from myself.

Wired, tired and still unable to switch off.

Scattered, overwhelmed and wondering what I actually achieved.

Drained from carrying everyone else's needs.

Collapse. Scroll. Zone out. Basically become one with the sofa.

Try to use the time productively.

Start five things and finish approximately none of them.

Still find yourself thinking about everyone else.
