This months Masterclass in Codependency Alchemy: The Membership for paid subscribers is on Healing the Mother Wound, where we begin to recognize the role of the mother wound and the ways it perpetuates codependent behaviors in our life and relationships. If you’re interested in watching the full class, you can upgrade to paid and access the video and full transcript.

In this masterclass I will be sharing about the connection between the mother wound and codependency, empowering us all in uncovering unhealthy dynamics and supporting us in cultivating a healthy level independence... yes, healthy level, because hyper-independence can also be a trauma response that can negatively effect our relationships and is actually really common when we experience the mother wound.

What is the Mother Wound?

The mother wound comes from the absence of safety and love we needed as children from our mothers.

It doesn't imply that your mother was unloving or uncaring overall, but rather highlights moments when you felt unworthy and inadequate, believing you weren't good or perfect enough to receive your mother's love and validation.

This leads to experiencing a fear of abandonment, rejection, betrayal, and an overall feeling of unworthiness.

In this masterclass we will explore:

* What is the mother wound?

* What is codependency?

* How the mother wound and codependency are interrelated

* Shadow work (getting to the root and reality checking some of our codependency tendencies)

* A somatic and inner child healing practice

After watching the masterclass, I invite you to join me in the comments, sharing what came through regarding the shadow work prompts, and the somatic/inner child practice. You’re welcome to ask questions and share your take-aways from the class in the comments as well!
