Healing the mother wound eventually brings you to a point where insight isn’t the problem anymore—you already know the why. What you want now is relief you can actually feel. In this FAQ, I’m answering the questions women ask me most once they’re ready to move beyond understanding and into real, embodied change.

Women who learned early on to protect their mother at the cost of their own feelings often feel compassion which is in fact empathy mixed with fear. This prevents them from making space for their feelings and big emotions and ask for their needs. It's how the mother wound sets compassion as a trap. Even if you're a therapist, as Polly in this post, you'd be surprised how it can feel like compassion is competing with your right to feel anger.

Sometimes the harshest words you tell yourself were never yours to begin with. I’ve seen how inherited stories slip into your inner voice and shape your choices without you even noticing. This post explores how those borrowed narratives form through the mother wound—and how healing helps you finally hear your own voice again.

There’s a point where “staying humble” stops being wisdom and starts being a survival strategy you never chose. I’ve watched brilliant women shrink themselves because the mother wound taught them that taking up space is dangerous. This post digs into how spiritual bypassing fuels that pattern, why even the strongest women get pulled into it, and what changes when you finally stop making yourself small.

Did you grow up believing it’s their job to keep their mother stable, calm, or emotionally intact? I’ve seen how this instinct becomes a lifelong survival response—one that feels like love, but functions like self-abandonment. This post unpacks why you were never meant to save your mum, how fused relationships form, and what shifts when you finally put that burden down.

We need to be in a healing relationship to feel seen, that's why the free call if essential first step for this process

Childhood can feel like blank spaces, but those gaps don’t mean nothing happened. Your body holds the moments that shaped your sense of belonging, even when your mind can’t access them. This post looks at breaking generational trauma, how the mother wound lives in the body, and why somatic healing helps you return to who you truly are.

When your mother never believed you, it warps how you see yourself. You learn to minimise your needs, explain away the hurt, and call it “not that bad.” I’ve seen this pattern in women raised by narcissistic mothers, and it runs deep. This post breaks down why it happens and what it takes to finally trust your own truth.
