“Healing the Mother Wound” is one of my most popular episodes, and because of all your interest in this topic, today’s I’m talking about self-parenting to heal the mother wound.
It is not my intention for you start blaming your parents for your life, but rather, I hope this helps you understand and heal your own wounds. Really, your mother wound is really a relationship between you and you.
What can cause mother wounds and how do you know if you have them? I go through the most common causes of mother wounds, like narcissistic and neglectful parents or a mother that could not meet your basic needs.
I share with you how you can create a corrective emotional experience, the qualities of a good mother and the importance of finding a replacement mother. To help with that, I created a downloadable guide with very powerful journal prompts to help you get a clear picture of what it is like to self-parent and heal.
I hope this episode can add value to your life, because YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY!

I am a mother who was emotionally unavailable for my daughter. She is 21, in therapy. I would like to deal with my part that led to her being sexually abused and engaging in harmful behavior.
