Deep dives

Impact of the Mother Relationship

The relationship with a mother is often considered the most significant influence in early life, shaping how individuals relate to themselves and others as adults. Many people may carry unconscious wounds from their interactions with their mothers, leading to difficulties in asserting their needs or trusting their feelings. For instance, a mother may unknowingly limit her daughter's potential due to societal beliefs that women should be small or less assertive. This dynamic can create a pattern where individuals seek to care for, rescue, or even carry excess emotional burdens for their mothers, impacting their adult relationships and sense of self.
