    FREE EVENT: Twice Survived, Forever Changed: A Candid Conversation About Postpartum Psychosis with Aaisha Alvi

    Tuesday, July 29th at 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM - Takes Place Via Zoom 

    The Perinatal Mental Health Institute would like to invite you to a completely free event for professionals to hear the lived experience of Postpartum Psychosis.


    Why This Training Matters

    Postpartum psychosis is a severe but treatable maternal mental health emergency that remains dangerously misunderstood in medical settings and public consciousness. This condition affects approximately 1-2 per 1,000 births, yet healthcare providers often lack the knowledge to recognize and respond appropriately. The consequences of this knowledge gap can be life-threatening, leaving mothers and families in crisis without adequate support or intervention.

    Drawing from her powerful book, A Mom Like That: A Memoir of Postpartum Psychosis, Aaisha will share her harrowing journey through postpartum psychosis, which she experienced twice – first following her daughter's birth and again after a miscarriage at 14 weeks. Her story reveals a troubling pattern of dismissal, having been turned away five times while desperately seeking help during a life-threatening mental health crisis. Through her candid account, attendees will gain crucial insights into this overlooked condition and learn how proper awareness and response can literally save lives.

    What You'll Learn:

    • Understanding the distinct symptoms of postpartum psychosis and how they differ from other perinatal mood and anxiety disorders
    • Recognizing the dangerous knowledge gaps that continue to exist in healthcare settings
    • Learning how increased awareness and proper response can save lives
    • Developing skills to recognize warning signs and advocate effectively for mothers in crisis
    • Understanding the critical importance of immediate intervention and appropriate treatment
    • Gaining insight into the lived experience of postpartum psychosis from a survivor's perspective
    • Participating in a Q&A section to address your specific questions and concerns

    Meet Your Speaker!

    Aaisha Alvi, Author & Mental Health Advocate

    Aaisha Alvi is a powerful voice for postpartum psychosis awareness and author of the compelling book A Mom Like That: A Memoir of Postpartum Psychosis. Having personally navigated postpartum psychosis twice, she transforms her lived experience into advocacy that saves lives.

    A dedicated volunteer with several maternal mental health organizations, including Postpartum Support International, Aaisha combines powerful storytelling with education to break stigmas and create change.

    Follow her impactful advocacy and writing at @aaishaalviwrites on social media and explore her work at www.aaishaalvi.com.

    Prepare for a Deeper Conversation

    To foster a more meaningful discussion, attendees are encouraged to familiarize themselves with Aaisha's story before the event through any of these options:

    • Reading her fabulous book: A Mom Like That: A Memoir of Postpartum Psychosis
    • Or this HuffPost article: When I Experienced Postpartum Psychosis, I Was Dismissed As Just Another Anxious Mom

    This event transforms painful experience into powerful knowledge—creating a community of informed advocates who understand that awareness saves lives.

    Special Event Notes:

    To preserve her privacy, Aaisha will be speaking with her camera off during this event. Additionally, this session will not be recorded, creating a safe space for open and honest conversation about this sensitive but crucial topic.

    Understanding ADHD in Pregnancy & Postpartum: Supporting Neurodivergent Mothers with Danielle Gordon, LPC, LMHC, SCL, NCC, PMH-C

    Monday July 7th at 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM (Irish Time) Takes Place Via Zoom Cost €20 – Includes Certificate of Attendance, Access to Recorded Version and All Resources Mentioned in the Training

    Why This Training Matters

    ADHD presents unique challenges during pregnancy and postpartum that are frequently overlooked or misdiagnosed. Hormonal fluctuations can significantly impact executive function, medication decisions become complex, and standard parenting advice often fails to address neurodivergent needs. This training provides essential insights into supporting this underserved population effectively.

    ADHD is often misunderstood, especially in women—and even more so during the major life transition of motherhood. This presentation explores how ADHD uniquely impacts women during pregnancy and the postpartum period, highlighting the role of fluctuating hormones, identity shifts, and increased cognitive and emotional demands. We'll examine common challenges and symptom presentations, as well as the often-overlooked experience of sensory overwhelm and maternal guilt. Through clinical insights and a real-world case vignette, attendees will learn practical, compassionate strategies for supporting neurodivergent mothers in a way that validates their experience and honors their strengths.

    What You'll Learn:

    • Understanding the intersection of ADHD and perinatal hormonal changes
    • Differentiating ADHD symptoms from perinatal mood disorders
    • Strength-based approaches to supporting executive function challenges
    • Practical strategies for medication management considerations
    • Addressing sensory overwhelm in the postpartum period
    • Supporting identity shifts specific to neurodivergent parents
    • Adapting traditional parenting support for ADHD brains

    The Inner Path of Psychotherapy

    Integrating Psychotherapy and Spiritual Wisdom on the Isle of Iona
    A Seven Day Residential Retreat for Psychotherapists
    14 to 20 March 2026
    Facilitator: Gerry Cunningham
    Cost: £995 or €1195
    Includes full board, single accommodation, and 50 CPD hours

     

    The Invitation

    Amid the windswept silence of the Isle of Iona, a place long held sacred by mystics and pilgrims, this immersive seven day retreat invites psychotherapists into the depths of their calling. Humanistic and integrative in spirit and practice, it offers a contemplative space to explore the living edge of clinical depth, spiritual insight, and inner renewal.

     

    The Work

    Throughout the week, we will explore the meeting place of psychological understanding and spiritual depth through a rich blend of meditation, somatic movement, creative process, deep listening, and experiential exercises. Participants will engage in practices focused on accurate empathy, attunement, and therapeutic presence.

     

    The Sources of Wisdom

    Drawing from the psychological insights of Carl Jung, Viktor Frankl, Carl Rogers, Irvin Yalom, William James, and Ken Wilber, and weaving in contemplative voices such as Thomas Merton, Tara Brach, Ram Dass, Brené Brown, and Joan Halifax, this retreat offers an invitation into sacred inquiry and embodied presence.

     

    The Celtic Thread

    Celtic wisdom, with its reverence for landscape, soul friendship, and the unseen world, will accompany us throughout. The poetic and philosophical voice of John O'Donohue invites us into the depth of anam ċara, the soul friend. The visionary writings of John Moriarty lead us into the wild terrain of the inner life, while Esther de Waal draws our attention to sacred rhythm, simplicity, and the blessings hidden in ordinary moments. Together, these Celtic guides help us recover an intimacy with both the self and the world that supports therapeutic presence in its truest form.

     

    The Practice

    Through shadow work, somatic inquiry, guided meditation, myth, poetry, group dialogue, and shared silence, we will explore the clinical and contemplative dimensions of therapeutic practice. Whether you are drawn to depth psychology, existential inquiry, transpersonal approaches, or embodied mindfulness, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to cultivate your own wholeness — personally, spiritually, and professionally.

     

    The Journey

    Day One
    The Call to Wholeness
    Integration of Psyche and Spirit

    Day Two
    Meaning in the Face of Suffering
    Dukkha, Choice, and the Search for Meaning

    Isle of Iona

    The Isle of Iona is a place where history, spirituality, and landscape meet in a profound and quiet beauty. Located off the west coast of Scotland, this small island has been a sacred site for centuries, known as the birthplace of Christianity in Scotland after Saint Columba founded a monastic community here in the year 563. Iona became a renowned centre of learning, artistry, and devotion, and it is widely believed that the early pages of the famous Book of Kells were created here by monks in the scriptorium of the abbey. Today, Iona’s ancient abbey ruins, open beaches, and wide skies still carry the stillness and clarity that have drawn pilgrims and seekers for generations. Its rugged land and gentle meadows offer a natural space for reflection. At the heart of the island lies the village of Iona, with its white cottages and simple rhythm of life, offering a spirit of welcome rooted in presence and reverence. In this quiet and contemplative setting, the boundary between the seen and the unseen often feels thin, inviting a deep sense of connection to the sacred.

    Research Title:

    Counsellors’ and Psychotherapists’ experiences of Dual and Multiple relationships within their local communities in Ireland - a narrative analysis.

    ‘Dual and multiple relationships occur whenever one person assumes more than one role in a relationship with another person’ (Syme, 2006, p. 57).Practical examples of dual relationships include when the counsellor or psychotherapist may encounter their clients as members of their church, in a social setting such as club members or availing of a local service such as G.P. , gym or beauticians/ hairdressers. Multiple relationships exist when Counsellors and Psychotherapists hold a number of these relationships with their client and this can also include relationships relating to their family members and those of their clients.

    I are looking for participants who:

    • Are accredited Counsellors and Psychotherapists
    • Are currently working as Counsellors and Psychotherapists within their local communities in Ireland.
    • Are willing to share their stories of their experiences of dual and multiple relationships within their local communities in an interview lasting 60-90 minutes.

    Your stories of your experiences are important to me, and I am inviting you to take part in this research study. I want to hear stories about the following:

    • Your experiences of dual and multiple relationships with your clients and the nature of them.
    • How these relationships impact you.
    • What strategies you use in managing dual or multiple relationships.

    If you are willing to take part in an interview either in person or on Zoom I would be delighted to hear from you. For further information contact Evelyn Waters, (M.A, M.SC. M.I.A.C.P.), Doctorate in Psychotherapy candidate at Dublin City University, at evelyn.waters3@mail.dcu.ie Deadline for participation: 31.07.25.
