Understanding the Mother Wound: Healing from Childhood Trauma

Understanding the Mother Wound: Healing from Childhood Trauma: In this video, we'll explore how the mother-daughter relationship shapes your view of the world, self-worth, and female relationships. We'll also discuss the childhood trauma associated with the mother-daughter relationship, known as the "mother wound," and how it can affect your life.

Research indicates that the mother wound occurs when a child's emotional needs are unmet. Your mother was your first example of how women treat each other, and it can impact how you perceive other female relationships. However, healing from the mother's wound is possible. It's important to have a healthy relationship with your mother without compromising your well-being. Therapy can also help you work through the trauma and negative beliefs.

To overcome the mother wound, it's important to understand the power of the mother-daughter dynamic and how your birth story can affect your life. From the golden child to emotional abuse, the mother's wound can take many forms, but it's essential to uncover the secrets of the mother-daughter relationship to move forward.

Can you do a video about overcoming childhood trauma when both of your parents have passed away, please.

Just wanted to say that I love your videos. In response to this video, I never realized how mothers can be a bully, friend, lover, and treatment. I'm definitely a young woman (31 years old). My mom has to constantly remind me how my siblings and I grew up in both a parent household and how girls don't have both a mother and father. My mother guilt trip about how I need to be appreciative that my parents still take care of me as an adult. My parents had me when she was 18. I wasn't planned. I'm always the go to person (middle child). I am always there for my family even at times I feel neglected and mistreated. I feel like I don't have a space to tell my mom anything positive or negative, because it's always critical. She assumes I have to be happy and my life is great even though I may not be overly satisfied with something in my life. Once I express myself not to her satisfaction, it's me always complaining and negative. It doesn't give me the space to have open communication with my mother. I have to put a shield around her that everything is okay around her. She can be critical of my body and even after weight loss surgery, im suffering from body dysmorphia. She fully doesn't understand and expects me to be happy from it. She views me as being ungrateful. I have very limited female friends. Yes, she is always the one who pushes me to be social but once I try to reconnect with a old classmate, she will say negative comments about this person. Example, "isn't that the girl who always flakes on you". Also, she gaslights me and always assume how I may interact with other people when she isn't in my presence. She already views me as a negative person so once I may say something negative about myself, she will say to me, "I hope you don't talk like that around people". I grew up being yhe quiet person and pushover. Once I stand up for myself even as an adult, I get yelled and not taken seriously. It also has a negative influence on my decision making. In men relationships, she has always instilled in me that men want women who take care of themselves and who doesn't have low self esteem. Men will take advantage of women who don't love themselves or have mental problems. That is also why I am single at 31 and never been in relationships due to this on top of being a plus size woman. I fear that a man will mistreat me because I don't take care of myself or have low self esteem/depressed and how I look. Now since I have body dysmorphia, I feel like I have to wear makeup and dress nice in order for guys to like me due to how presentable my mother taught me. I fear no man will accept a women who is living with depression. My dad is hard a well because he was very overprotective to the point even as an adult its hard to trust men or believe a man is interested in me romantically without thinking he is all about sex. My dad instilled a superman and don't depend on a man mentality in a way that leads me to be a alpha female and have been personally rejected by men who I tried pursue dating. I have a great personality and it sucks. I don't have any male friends which was never allowed growing up. I'm at this point in my life where I would like to have a platonic male friendship. My mother and friendship is toxic due to having mom, aunts, and female friends speaking highly negative about men and not having my best interest at heart which resulted in wanting to hang with a male friend. I feel like my safe space is only confiding in my therapist. I also agree on when you spoke on daughter viewing their friend's relationship with their mothers. I am the same. I compare and wonder why I don't have that with my mother. This also led me to have conversations with other black middle aged women who are my mother's age since they are the most understanding and are like mother figure. I appreciate you reading this and enjoy your videos. 🙏🏽

Please show us how to navigate a relationship with a toxic mother. I’m just turned 41 and can now see how stunted I am in so many areas of my life because of my longing to be loved by my mother and desire for her to at least acknowledge and apologize for her toxic behavior toward me.

you only get 1 birth mother, but we can all create the family of our choosing.
