When we recognize our similarities with our mothers—even if those similarities are uncomfortable or difficult to face—we can begin to understand them more deeply and move into acceptance and compassion. We can also move through the rage that often accompanies the mother wound, and begin to truly release it.

When we heal our mother wound, we free up space for deeper connection in all of our relationships. We are then able to open up more fully, trust more deeply, and love more freely. And most importantly, we can experience the acceptance and unconditional love that we deserve.
