Nicola Redhouse's Journey: Post-Natal Anxiety and Neuropsychoanalysis

The aim isn't to prove Freud right or wrong, but mark soames has always felt that psychoanalysis has provided the most comprehensive chain of cause and effect for mental activity that has ever been put forward and in that way offers us a potential scientific model for understanding the human mind.
Ever felt like your mind is a maze after having a baby? Nicola Redhouse knows the feeling all too well. In this episode of 'All In The Mind', she opens up about her battle with post-natal anxiety. Growing up surrounded by psychoanalytic theories, Nicola expected Freudian concepts to help her understand her struggles. But life had other plans. Instead, she stumbled upon neuropsychoanalysis, a field that explores the intricate dance between the brain and the mind.
This discovery offered her a fresh perspective and a deeper understanding of her mental health journey. The episode doesn't stop there; it dives into how poverty can affect maternal brain activity and the hormonal rollercoaster that pregnancy brings. Whether you're a new parent grappling with anxiety or someone fascinated by the human mind, this episode offers a treasure trove of insights. Nicola’s story is a testament to the power of exploring alternative mental health approaches when traditional methods fall short.
Tune in to hear her compelling narrative and broaden your understanding of the mind's complexities.
