Mom Rage and Burnout Are Real. Here’s How Therapy in NJ and NY Can Help
If you’ve ever found yourself snapping at your kids over something small or crying in the bathroom just to get a moment alone, you’re not alone.
Mom rage and burnout are real, and more common than you think.
As a licensed therapist supporting moms in New Jersey and New York, I hear these stories daily. And while culture tells us to “soak in every moment” of motherhood, the reality is that many moms are running on empty.
So let’s talk about it.
What Is “Mom Rage,” Really?
“Mom rage” isn’t just about being angry. It’s the feeling of being emotionally and physically pushed to your limit, where yelling feels like the only outlet.
You might be experiencing mom rage if:
You explode over small things (like spilled milk or whining)
You feel intense guilt after losing your temper
You fantasize about running away just to feel peace
You don’t recognize yourself anymore
It’s not because you’re a bad mom. It’s because you’re burned out.
The Burnout You’re Carrying Is Heavy
Burnout in motherhood often goes unnoticed because we’re expected to carry it all, without complaint. But the signs are there:
Exhaustion that sleep can’t fix
Resentment toward your partner, kids, or yourself
Numbness or feeling emotionally flat
Crying in secret, then pretending you're "fine"
You may be wondering: “Is this just how motherhood is?”
No, mama. It doesn’t have to be.
How Therapy Can Help Moms in NJ and NY
Therapy gives you a safe, judgment-free space to say the things you can’t say out loud. Together, we can unpack the layers of rage, guilt, and pressure you're carrying and help you feel like you again.
In our sessions, we’ll:
Identify your emotional triggers
Explore the root causes of your mom rage and burnout
