The Centrokinetic team is made up of physicians highly specialized in musculoskeletal conditions. What sets us apart from other systems is the method of medical collaboration and the protocols we use, so that all physicians on the team use the same treatment algorithms, implemented from the most prestigious clinics in the world.

The experience gained over the last 15 years in the children's recovery department has made us understand the need for counseling both during the prenatal period and after the child's birth.

Introduction

Pregnancy is a very important event in the life of any family, a moment that brings changes both in the mother's life and in the dynamics of the couple and family.

Preparing for birth is a crucial step for the mother-to-be, being a moment with a strong emotional charge that can interfere with the resources needed for a healthy prenatal attachment. Thus, knowing breathing techniques, relaxation, and emotional support are necessary for good development.

There are not a few cases in which the mother can be an indication of how the child feels. For this reason, the quality of prenatal and postnatal life has a determining effect on the child's development and, especially, on the development of secure attachment.

The maternal role automatically comes with many specific responsibilities for the child's needs. This can lead to a feeling of being overwhelmed on the mother's part, who must quickly adapt to her new role. These feelings of worry, insecurity, and confusion, especially for mothers with their first child, can affect the development of a healthy mother-child relationship. Thus, the mother can transmit certain states of unease to the baby, and the baby may display agitated behavior, cry easily, and sometimes be hard to console. This is a period in which both the emotional and informational needs of mothers predominate, and in this regard early psychological intervention can have a beneficial effect on the mother and, implicitly, on the relationship between the two.

What are the goals of psychological counseling?

• becoming aware of one's own needs and those of the baby
• support regarding the changes that occur in a mother's life
• exploring and strengthening the mother-fetus relationship, and after birth, the mother-baby relationship
• becoming aware of the importance of the mother's emotional state in the child's development
• emotional preparation for the birth of the child
• taking on the parental role (post-natal attachment)

Postpartum depression

The birth of a child can trigger a mix of emotions, from joy and happiness to fear and anxiety. It can also bring about something you might not expect - a depressive state. Many mothers will feel a certain sadness (baby blues) after giving birth, which represents normal emotional lability after childbirth. It appears in the first few days, with crying for no apparent reason and sudden mood changes, but disappears relatively quickly, within a maximum of 3 weeks.

However, some mothers will experience a more severe and longer-lasting form of depression, known as postpartum depression. Do not isolate yourself. Family support is very important in combating postpartum depression. We also advise you to come and talk with our team of psychologists.

If you are preparing for a pregnancy, are about to give birth, or feel overwhelmed by the changes that appear after childbirth, we advise you to confidently turn to our team of specialists.
