Does being a clinical psychologist make parenting a walk in the park? According to Dr Halaina Winter, not quite. Dr Fallon chats with Dr Halaina about her experience as a first-time parent: the surprises, the self-doubt and the moments that humbled her. Together they explore practical ways to look after your mental health in those early years. Whether you’re expecting, newly home with your baby or deep in the toddler trenches, you’ll come away feeling reassured, understood and a little less alone.
