This chapter explores the profound impact of the mother-child relationship on adult personality and behavior, highlighting how maternal experiences shape attachment styles, emotional impressions, and relationship dynamics. It discusses the intergenerational transmission of mother's influence on daughters, particularly focusing on self-esteem, body confidence, and relationships in a patriarchal society.
Our mother wounds represent the unprocessed trauma and insecurities we pick up from the dynamic we each have with the women who raise us and shape us. In today's episode we break down the psychology of our mother wounds including their origin, their impact and their manifestation, from our body confidence to our competition with other women, our ability to trust and connect, our fear of disapproval and chronic people pleasing.
We also explore ways to heal this wound, both in collaboration with our mother and on our own. Listen now for more!
