On the shared neuroplastic mechanism of reinvention and recovery
I found out a while back that a presentation I’d offered to give at the Postpartum Support International Conference, discussing neuroplastic symptoms in pregnancy and postpartum, was rejected. I was more than disappointed. I felt a bit lost for a couple of weeks. It made clear to me, in a very concrete way, that I am in an awkward professional transition.
There’s something truly disconcerting about being in the middle of a big change. It’s the messy, unmoored feeling of being in-between. You’ve let go of what was familiar, and you haven’t yet arrived at a new place that feels grounded.
