Funnily enough she has been with a therapist for years now but clearly they are not doing a good job or its not as magical as Anna makes it out to beMajor issues, where do you even begin unpicking her complexities. It would do her good to stop preaching on the gram and get some PROPER therapy.
I remember when she announced she was pregnant again I thought oh here we go, the moaning will now go up another level. Just why?Exactly!! Why have 3 kids if you don't want the work that comes with it? It was your choice to have all those children... Lovely for them to grow up and read up all about their mum's lovely moaning about them constantly on social media
Her response would be probably you can still find it hard and love your kids, which I get but it’s totally put on. And the ‘three’ kid family seem to be the norm if you are an Influencer. I literally know so so many accounts now that have gone to have their third But yes family planning should involve more thought especially like Anna who’s seem to have not coped well after having babies.Exactly!!

Again I think that these intrusive thoughts are a symptom of her high maintainence , the babies are taking too much of her and struggling with not getting her own High needs met , therefore her brain throws out these thoughtsI know people will disagree perhaps I also absolutely hated her post about imagining throwing the baby off the bridge or something like that. I do get intrusive thoughts myself but more in terms of something bad happening to my family or myself. But harming your baby just made me feel sick. I know she got a lot of likes for it and people relate I personally found it too much!

Sorry to anyone who might of experienced this. X
I said the same. What if? It exist. But fearing worse only by your error not on purpose. Have you read that particular post of hers? I can’t be bothered to look it up and I don’t follow her anymore anyway.I understand her post about intrusive thoughts. When I had PND I used to think all the time ‘What if I pushed the buggy into traffic?’ or ‘What if I drive the car into a wall?’
It’s not about actually harming your baby (I never would have harmed mine). It’s a symptom of a particular kind of mental illness. I’m glad she shared as it’s bleeping horrible and isolating (especially as it is such a taboo, as is illustrated by your comment).
There is absolutely nothing wrong with talking about all manner of mental well-being/mental health challenges and issues. They can be as normal as wanting some peace from your family, on a Sunday afternoon, to having deeply shameful intrusive thoughts (which by the way, are a coping mechanism, and will absolutely depend on your own context, and your own formative experiences).I understand her post about intrusive thoughts. When I had PND I used to think all the time ‘What if I pushed the buggy into traffic?’ or ‘What if I drive the car into a wall?’

Spot on. Which is why the money she is taking from people, who have far less social mobility than she has benefitted from, is appalling. I am astounded that she gets this past her therapist/advisor the British Psychological Society.You may not agree with me but I think some people use mental health as a escape goat for their mistakes or shortcomings or even to look trendy. Whilst I understand that there are people who actually suffer with mental health issues and really go through alot in life but it is also a very cool idea now that I have anxiety and I'm so cool. Fortunately for Anna she is cashing on the cool trend. If she had joined social media few years later, she may not have been so popular because the industry would be saturated. What I also find with Anna is that she never mentions other mental health organisations or support groups that can lend support to the general public. I find her approach very bandaid approach where she tries to address the problem with long nice words in an ig post or newspaper article or a podcast rather than actually discussing one important aspect, then questioning it and addressing the issue at hand rather than just using words to comfort you like a child..
It's such a shame that a highly sensitive and important issue such as mental health has become a cool insta white rich mummy hot topic to be discussed. I am more likely to relate to a mum who works minimum wage or even a decent living trying to make ends meet with of without support of a family living in a 3 bed semi with her children than a rich career woman like Anna who has endless support and finances available. Also what Anna fails to mention is that her husband Tarun's family owns holiday home in Wales and a nice house down south which shows that they are not your average working class parents. Tarun comes from a privileged family who live comfortably with disposable income which has probably been lent to Tarun for support and development. I really think that these socio economic factors play a huge part in people's everyday living and opportunities in life. Tarun and Anna come from families who have been to universities and have had good financial standing which has been passed down to them and will be passed down to their children. So Tarun and Anna can afford a nanny because they have had support for mortgage and uni from parents. They are not some struggling parents who work at Tesco Dow the road and have serious anxiety and struggles supporting their children. Anna has a nanny, cleaner, admin support for work, Tarun and large social group who they constantly socialise with and that's why she is not genuine and honest to her following when she is trying to relate to the average English mum. She is a very lucky girl but would never count her lucky stars. It's all about moaning moaning moaning for her. Woe is me = Anna!
not sure she would be registered with the BPS as she’s not a psychologist, probably the BACP (for psychotherapists) and she’s definitely contravening all sorts of ethical guidelines, just in terms of professional boundaries, personal disclosures and including what you’ve said. She’s so grabby and disingenuous it’s shocking that she works in a “caring profession” you have to renew your registration regularly, maybe she hasn’t or maybe they have no clue what she’s doingSpot on. Which is why the money she is taking from people, who have far less social mobility than she has benefitted from, is appalling.

I would love more kids, but I know I will struggle mentally again. I had horrific PND that lasted 3/4yrs. I am so scared of crumbling again, that I wont put myself and my family through it. Then again, I dont have a nanny & a cleaner to share the burden like AnnaHer response would be probably you can still find it hard and love your kids, which I get but it’s totally put on. And the ‘three’ kid family seem to be the norm if you are an Influencer. I literally know so so many accounts now that have gone to have their third But yes family planning should involve more thought especially like Anna who’s seem to have not coped well after having babies.
I was shocked to learn about her having the third after her struggles.

Intrusive thoughts are like poison. Theyre horrible. I end up literally shaking my head, as though I could shake the thought from my head.I understand her post about intrusive thoughts. When I had PND I used to think all the time ‘What if I pushed the buggy into traffic?’ or ‘What if I drive the car into a wall?’
It’s not about actually harming your baby (I never would have harmed mine). It’s a symptom of a particular kind of mental illness. I’m glad she shared as it’s bleeping horrible and isolating (especially as it is such a taboo, as is illustrated by your comment).
Why is she so over-dramatic!Another day another therapist session and clumsy incident... The therapy is clearly not working, is it Anna?
