The Mother Wound

For the person who has always been better at caring for others than herself. Who holds her emotional life carefully, struggles to receive, and carries somewhere inside her the specific ache of having needed something from the first relationship of her life that was not fully available.

This book addresses the mother wound in its six specific forms, how it shows up across every domain of adult life, the grief at its center — and what it takes to heal it. Includes the Mother Wound Grief Practice and the foundational reparenting work of becoming your own good mother.
