The Areas Our Mothers Can Hurt Us In

The origins of the mother wound can be hard to trace-but often, we’re not even aware of how deeply they impact us until we have daughters of our own. Dr. Anita Phillips explains how it can manifest and what we can do about it.

I'm so sorry😢

[@normalawson6050]

I am so sorry this happened to you. I had a similar experience. Before my mother passed I put myself in therapy for a few years. And, since then I visit a therapist whenever those old painfully feelings come up. I have also learned a lot. One thing I understand better is mental illness. My mother was bi-polar and an alcoholic. And, I have also grown closer to God. I have come to understand that my mother did the best she could.

@@normalawson6050 How does it work? When the painful feelings come up, do you return to therapy for just like two or three sessions? Or how long? Thank you.

[@normalawson6050]

I go for as many sessions as I feel I need because I refuse to allow past hurts to consume my life and affect my future. Always better out than in. I get it out in a healthy and safe way. And, when the pain and hurt reveals it's ugly head again, then I repeat. I will never give up or give in. I am a winner.
I'm my situation, I had to learn and accept the fact that my mother was mentally ill. And, the alcohol only made it worse. So with all the childhood trauma I endured, I now understand as an adult that my Mother was sick. And, I have to often go back and tell myself (as a child) positive affirmations to negate all the words that were said to me as a child.
