In this episode I talk about Mother Wounds. These are wounds created in childhood from not having a secure attachment to our mothers. And it is so much deeper than I ever realised before starting this work, and doing RTT (hypnotherapy) with my clients.

I learned so much during my RTT training, about the way our childhoods define so much of who we are. They shape our personalities, we take all the information around us to work out who we need to become to have our needs met, and then we shapeshift to become that version of ourselves.

And we stay that way. Really uncomfortable in our own skin, twisted out of shape and stuck that way. Forever seeking the acceptance, approval, protection and love from our parents that we never got. But in particular, from our mothers.

I also talk about how much pressure there is in knowing this, as a mother myself. Knowing everything that I know about the devastating impact a mother wound can have on a persons life, and wondering how tf I'm meant to navigate this without breaking my baby.

I've felt like I was walking a tightrope at times, but I'm genuinely starting to get the hang of it, and realise that the pressure isn't necessary.

So, lots of thoughts as always ;) I'd love to hear your take on it. Leave a comment if you get a chance!

And share with a friend who needs to hear this.

As always, thank you for listening x
