An unhealed mother wound can manifest into adulthood in the following ways:

1. a lack of boundaries, can't say 'no'

2. constant fear of judgement

3. comparisonitis

4. you sacrifice your dreams/wants for someone else

5. co-dependent (this one is a big!)

6. low self-worth (this could look like negative self talk)

7. self-sabotage

It's our strongest bond - the bond between a child and a mother. They are our lifeline, our survival depends on them (both literally in the womb and figuratively as we grow up as children).

Did you have what most would consider a 'good' childhood? mother wounding happens just as often in these upbringings as ones that are volatile and abusive. We can be wounded by our direct interactions with her and through observing how our mother interacts with the world. All of these events imprint on our subconscious and we can carry forward these patterns into adulthood.

These types of coping mechanisms and patterns can surface in all relationships in your life, not just the ones with your own children.

This is perhaps one of the most important and most transformative areas for healing!!! Take a listen
