Some aspects of parenting can be hard—infuriating, even. Here, some effective strategies to help you constructively channel that super-charged energy:
, LPCC, a licensed mental health therapist in California, notes that mom rage is essentially “the adult version of a child’s tantrum.” And the same way a toddler may seem totally unhinged in a moment of blind fury, “a mom completely dysregulates and [her emotions] boil over.” What’s more, she notes that mom rage can manifest in many different ways. It can appear as “irritability, restlessness, fatigue, anger, yelling, feelings of loss of control and aggression.
Regardless of what it’s called, it’s not particularly pleasant to be on the giving or receiving end of this unfiltered fury. Suffice it to say, it can lead to a cycle of bad behavior and negative reactions—on both sides.Mom rage doesn’t just rear its ugly head at random; you typically feel it coming. But that building sensation is actually a good thing; it can help you learn to identify cues and work on that not-so-great knee-jerk response.
That said, Furnival stresses the importance of seeking therapy for perpetual rage or anger that puts you or your kids in danger. While episodes of mom rage can happen to anyone, it’s also sometimes a sign of an underlying postpartum mental health disorder. Finding a therapist to talk to—perhaps one focused in the maternal space—can help you take back control.
