She's Not Overreacting: A Partner's Guide to the Postpartum Brain, Mental Load, and What Actually Helps

She keeps saying she's drowning. You keep asking what you can do. Neither of you has the answer, because nobody gave you the information. Written by clinical psychologist Dr. Jana Rundle, this short, direct guide explains what is actually happening to your partner after the baby: the hormone crash, the rewired brain, the invisible workload she carries in her head, and why the things you've been trying keep landing wrong. Ten short chapters cover: - The fourth trimester: what her body and brain are really going through- The mental load, and why "just tell me what to do" makes it heavier- What to say instead of fixing (with exact scripts)- How to take real work off her plate without being asked- Sex, touch, and the distance between you- Warning signs that need professional help, and how to raise it- A final chapter about you, because partners hit walls too > If someone handed you this book, they're not saying you failed. They're saying they want you in this with them, and this is the manual.
