info_outlineHealing The Mother Wound | Weekly Wellness Tip #20
Here in the US, Mother’s Day is promoted as a time of celebration, connection, gratitude for the woman who brought you into this world and for the woman or women who nurtured and sustained you along the way.
We are bombarded with images of smiling mothers who are warm, caring, strong, and compassionate.
But what you don’t see are the thousands of women who feel like outsiders looking into a world they’ve never experienced or perhaps no longer feel they have the ability to participate in.
Women who despite their grief over departed loved ones and loss...
Women who, despite their memories of childhood abuse, neglect, rejection, abandonment, and shame…
Are bombarded with images that say, “this is what you should be experiencing. So, show some gratitude.”
Women who are aggressively and carelessly invited along in a few weeks of a nationwide rumpus, a cookie-cutter, Stepford-like, depiction of motherhood...
A glamorization of the one experience they want more than anything else in the world, but feel permanently separated from.
So, if you’ve ever felt invisible on mother’s day due to the commercialization and sensationalism of an idea that simply ran wild—I want to acknowledge you.
You are not alone and healing is available to you when you are ready.
***Trigger Warning: This episode is NOT for everyone.***
If this message resonates with you, then I challenge you to consider taking a more active role to reframe your interpretation of Mother’s Day and what you feel it represents by shifting your focus to the practice of nurturing YOU.
The following are questions that you can reflect upon in your journal to gain a deeper understanding of yourself as you explore authentic ways to heal.
