On ‘Mental Breakthroughs,’ host Patricia Wu and guest therapist and healer Josie Rosario discuss the bond with our mothers is deeply influential, but sometimes, even the best intentions can leave unintended wounds.
Acknowledge the Pain
The first step in healing is recognizing that your mother wound is real. It’s okay to feel hurt, even if it seems disloyal to your mother.
Mother vs. Mothering
Remember, your mother is a person, separate from her role as a caregiver. Even good people can unintentionally cause emotional harm through their mothering.
The Path to Healing
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Start by reading about mother wounds, consider support groups, or seek individual therapy with someone specializing in this type of trauma.
