"Mama Drama Trauma” (MDT) is a term I coined to bring this taboo out of the shadows and into the light of Great Mother’s unconditional love. It is a condition by which the mother inflicts unhealed aspects of herself onto her children causing physical and/or emotional trauma. In extreme cases where the mother is unable, unwilling or unavailable to heal, loving detachment is not just an option, it is the last resort for the child to live a happy and healthy life. 

I have suffered from, survived and support individuals to heal. The subject of how to heal such agony has been seldom broached as it is universally taboo to utter it existence, but this is changing because we are realizing it affects on us all can no longer be ignored.  For the first time outside of mental wards and psychiatric journals MDT is being named and it is being claimed for what it is: a healing crisis designed to induce inner balance through self love and spiritual independence.

Whether it shows up as abandonment and/or abuse from the birth mother, motherland or earth mother in this, we are truly together, so the next time you feel paralyzed by shame, blame and guilt unable and unwilling to acknowledge the affects of MDT, listen to this podcast: "Mama Drama Trauma: Transcending the Taboo" to immediate clarity, balance and confirmation that you are never judged, condemned or left alone.
