About this trial
Despite their impact, postpartum intrusive thoughts- unwanted, distressing thoughts, images, and urges often about harming one's infant, are common yet overlooked. This can lead to distress, shame, impairment, and for some, diagnoses of depression, anxiety, or OCD. This project aims to adapt and test a brief, accessible intervention targeting misinterpretation of postpartum intrusive thoughts.
