Feelings In Motherhood

Becoming a mother is a profound journey filled with contrasting emotions. This phenomenon describes the experience of holding opposing emotions simultaneously, such as joy and sadness, contentment and loneliness, or fulfilment and loss. Motherhood introduces women to a unique intersubjective and interpersonal space. They must navigate their desires, feelings, and motivations, along with their child's. As a result, feelings of contrast often arise, but they frequently go unnoticed or misunderstood.
