Hello. I am [number of days or weeks] postpartum. My baby is [X days/weeks] old.

The birth was [vaginal / planned cesarean / emergency cesarean / other] and there [was / was not] separation or complications that affected our early time together.

Right now, when I think about bonding or being physically and emotionally close with my baby, the strongest feeling or sensation I notice is [describe honestly — e.g. "nothing at all", "a lot of anxiety", "I love them but it feels mechanical", "I feel guilty all the time", "I am scared I'm doing it wrong"].

My current daily reality looks like: [very brief note about sleep, feeding method, support at home, recovery/pain, or anything else that shapes capacity].

I would like your help to understand what is happening between us and to find one or two small, realistic ways to begin feeling more connected — or at least less alone and scared — without adding more pressure or 'shoulds' to my plate.

Please begin by simply reflecting back what I have shared so I know you have heard me. Then, if it feels right, offer one very gentle, low-energy practice or perspective that I could try today that respects how I am actually doing.
