Mom Rage with Anna Mathur

Mom rage is real. Have you ever let out a primal scream in your kitchen? Felt the urge to drop everything and sprint out the front door? Dr. Becky and fellow psychotherapist Anna Mathur are right there with you. And they’re fired up to tell a new story about what this anger means: Mom rage is a sign of unmet needs. In this week’s episode, the two share a raw, real conversation on parental rage-exploring how shame, self-blame, and societal expectations of selfless parenting run many of us, especially mothers, into the ground. They share thoughtful reframes on what it means to be a “good parent,” along with practical strategies on how to check-in with your needs before you burn out. Remember: When you show up for yourself, you’re showing up for your family, too.

I really needed to hear this, especially that it doesn't make you a bad person, just a person with unmet needs.

I am so grateful for the clarity this brought about parental rage and how it is unmet needs that we have. The second take away brought me to tears the moment that you spoke it. I have been identifying myself as a parent and nothing else for a couple years too long now. Being of selfless service, trying to compensate for what I felt like was a horrible beginning to a childhood for my son. Realizing now that I unintentionally only caused more damage by doing so 🥲 I am ready to discover who I am outside of being a mother, I don't fully know that part of myself and letting go of the grip I have seems beyond terrifying. Thank you both for your time, all the work that you have done and for being vulnerable and honest with us all to provide these resources and help as many parents as you can. 🙏💚

“We need energy to rationalize anxious thoughts.” I needed to repeat this here to help me remember. That hit home. Thank you.
