Intrusive thoughts are common for new parents, often stemming from a complex combination of factors. While they're a natural and normal experience, they can be distressing, especially during the vulnerable postpartum period. But intrusive thoughts do not mean a parent is at risk of acting on these thoughts, nor do they define them as a person or parent. This mediation is highly beneficial in helping parents promote deep relaxation, reduce anxiety and tension, understand that they are not their thoughts, build self-confidence and improve any negative thinking patterns
