“Mom rage,” sensory overload, and shame (Kaitlin Soulé’s story)

Marriage and family therapist Kaitlin Soulé shares her story and
expertise. She opens up about rage — especially “mom
rage” — and the sensory overload and shame that often come
with it. Kaitlin and Laura talk about what rage actually feels
like (it’s more than just yelling), and how constant noise at
home can push them past their limits. They also look at how
“rage” is often framed as a women’s issue. (Have you ever heard
anyone talk about “dad rage”?)


Kaitlin shares practical ways to come down from intense moments
and repair things with loved ones. The conversation also touches
on masking — why it can be easier to hold it together at
work, but not at home. ADHD and mood swings come up too, and why
some women are misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder.
