Look inside
Pages from the file you'll download, not a mock-up.
Mom rage is the thing nobody talks about until they have done it. Then it is the only thing they want to talk about, but cannot, because the cultural script is that mothers are not supposed to lose their temper.
You did. I have. The friend who recommended this workbook to you has too. This workbook is for that version of you, the one who slammed the cabinet too hard, or screamed at your toddler, or told your partner something you can never quite take back.
It is not here to judge you. It is here to help you see the pattern, find what’s underneath, and build the repair muscle. Repair is the work. Repair is also what kids actually remember.
What’s inside
Forty-eight pages, undated:
- The noticing log. Each incident, in five lines. When. Trigger. What you said. What was actually under it. What you did after.
- The trigger map. Twenty common triggers, ranked by how often each one shows up for you over four weeks. Patterns become visible.
- The “what was underneath” worksheet. Sleep debt. Skipped meals. Sensory overload. A feeling you didn’t have time to feel earlier. A relationship resentment with no other outlet.
- A “what your nervous system is doing” page. In plain language, no jargon. What happens in the body during a rage episode. Why it feels like a switch.
- The repair-script library. Twelve repair scripts. The toddler-repair (specific). The partner-repair (specific). The repair you do silently with yourself.
- The “in-the-moment” pages. Three things to do before it lands on a person. Take ten paces. Put yourself in the bathroom. Run cold water on your wrists.
- A page for the partner. What to do when you see it coming. What NOT to do (the lecture, the “calm down,” the joke).
- When to call a real provider. Specific signs that say this needs more than a workbook.
Before you buy
Intense rage in postpartum is more common than the culture admits. It is also sometimes a sign of something a real provider should look at. If your rage is frequent (more than once a week for several weeks), if you are hurting yourself, if you are afraid of hurting your child or partner, or if you are losing time during these episodes, please call. The US Maternal Mental Health Hotline is 1-833-852-6262 (24/7, free, confidential).
This workbook is a noticing tool. It is not a substitute for therapy. It is a way to bring a real pattern to a real provider, with notes.
