Dr Fabienne Chevalier is a therapist, a matrescence and motherhood advocate, an educator and researcher into language, the mind and behaviour and also a mother. With a focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, anger and emotional blocks, she brings together therapy, coaching and a background in research and education in linguistics, sociology and psychology in her practice.
In particular, she works career-driven and working mothers who feel like they have lost themselves since they became mothers and who feel trapped, unfulfilled, undervalued and invisible. She helps them to break free from survival mode and the emotional rollercoaster of motherhood, including anger, resentment and guilt, and navigate motherhood and career on their own terms so they can reconnect with themselves and be the fulfilled mother, woman and professional they want to be.
She does 1:1 therapy and coaching. She also runs a live group program called So Much More Than a Mother, supporting and connecting mothers going through these emotional struggles. Her self-study course on maternal anger will be released later this year in 2023. It will enable women who don’t feel ready to seek 1:1 help from a therapist yet to start working through it at their own pace.
Today Dr Fabienne Chevalier talks about:
- What maternal anger and mum rage are
- Why talking about anger and rage in motherhood is still a taboo conversation that carries stigma and leads mothers to hide it
- Where anger and rage really come from and what is at the root of these issues
- How guilt sustains the cycle of anger and rage in motherhood
- The ways Dr Fabienne helps mothers get out of the anger cycle
