Mothers are powerful. No one has the ability to wound us as deeply as our mother. Society has eagerly embraced the concept of “daddy issues”, yet it is still taboo to talk about the intentional or unintentional harm inflicted by mothers.

This is a guide to help you identify and resolve mother wounds that have shaped you in ways that no longer serve your highest good. 

Everybody has a unique personality. There are certain things we like about our personalities and some that we don’t. What most people do not realise is that many traits we consider our personality, i.e. “that’s just the way I am”, are actually trauma responses. Some of these traits continue to serve us and some do not. They did in childhood, that is why we developed them, but they may no longer be necessary for your wellbeing.

 On this journey, my intention is to guide and support your recovery from mental, emotional and spiritual wounds resulting from being unmothered. The term unmothered, as I use it, encompasses not having been mothered at all, or having been mothered inadequately or in a manner that is detrimental. This may have been a result of various scenarios:

• a mother who was physically absent, perhaps she died or you were raised by someone else or you were put up for adoption.
• a mother who was emotionally absent
• a mother who was mentally incapable of fulfilling her role as mother, perhaps she had mental health issues
• a mother who was unable or unwilling to fulfilling her role as mother, perhaps she was struggling with addiction or she was a very young mother, or she was taking care of too many people.
