Healing the Mother Wound

Published: Feb. 16, 2021, 9 a.m.

We will learn: What the mother wound is and what keeps it in place How to develop boundaries even if we never enforced them before How to heal by learning how to mother yourself Why is it that mother daughter relationships can be so complicated? Whether you had the worst mother daughter relationship or the typical conflicts, we all have these mother wounds, some just deeper than others. So the question becomes “how do  you let go?” How do you heal? That’s what we’re talking about today.  Our guest Bethany Webster. In 2013 she published an article entitled “Why it’s Crucial for Women to Heal the Mother Wound” based on a body of work she had been developing for 15 years. And overnight, the article went viral. Women around the world shared it on social media,  they discussed it with their friends, and it was referenced in new blogs and podcasts.  Before, thought leaders like Adrienne Rich and Christiane Northrup had touched on the concept of a Mother Wound, but no one had yet fleshed out exactly what the Mother Wound is and why it remains a universal experience of women the world over.  So Bethany made it her mission to really understand and define the Mother Wound and why and how it manifests.
