By bringing in these new understandings of what really happens to a woman’s body, he’s allowing us all to breathe out … realising that there isn’t something ‘wrong’ with us. We’re just depleted.</div><div><br /></div><div>You can learn more about Dr Serrallach’s work <a href=\"http://oscarserrallach.com/\" target=\"_blank\">on his website</a>, and order a copy of his book <a href=\"https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-postnatal-depletion-cure-dr-oscar-serrallach/book/9780733640322.html\" target=\"_blank\">here</a></div><div><br /></div>","author_name":"Amy Taylor-Kabbaz"}
