Back in another episode, we are talking about mother wounds. Wounds can run deep and unseen. They have aftereffects, trauma, and pain. A mother is one of the most important figures in your life, which is why wounds in this area hurt the most.

No matter how tumultuous your relationship, the wounds between a mother and child can be restored. You may think your case is the exception, but that’s not true.

Even with all the hurt, the good news is that wounds can be healed! Here, I take you through my story of the relationship I had with my mother before she passed away. Trust me, it was not cute mom and daughter lunch dates. I went through my own personal journey of internal healing and restoration. The key point to remember here is that no mother is perfect.

Let me help teach you how to get on the road to healing, freedom and joy. I am going to take my mask off, in hopes that you are encouraged to do the same.

Healing Mother Wounds:

[6:25] Go back to the place of pain. The root of all your pain and trauma cannot be dealt with until you confront the memories and origins of where it all began. The first step is always the one people want to skip, when it in fact is the step that will ensure your healing.

[7:15] Forgive yourself for making mistakes. Just as there is no perfect mother, there is no perfect daughter. Consider how your own actions or behavior may have added unto strains in your mother-daughter relationship. After this, recognize, learn, rectify and grow from those mistakes!

[12:10] Apologize. Mothers and daughters. You could be one apology away from restoring your relationship! Do not allow pride to get in the way of restoration.

[26:53] Admit that you needed a mother and maybe still do. If you have gone a long time without the active positive presence of your mother, you may tell yourself that you do not need her. That your life is perfectly fine without her. Deep in your heart you need to acknowledge that this is not true. Every mother has something to offer you. Find those pearls and extract what you can.

[34:25] Do not be consumed with what your mother is not. Instead remember what she is. Maybe your mother is not affectionate, but she taught you how to cook and clean. You might not have had the bonding experience of baking together, but because of her wisdom in the kitchen, you know to cook delicious meals. Focus on all the good.
