What is the Mother Wound?

Sandy Nguyen writes in her Blog “What is the Mother Wound” “The mother wound is the pain, wounding, and trauma that’s carried by a mother and inherited by her children, with daughters facing the brunt of this wound. Even if a mother is physically present, having a mother who is not emotionally attuned and available to you when you were a child can still cause pain”. SANDY NGUYEN DECEMBER 21, 2020

Signs of the Mother Wound

Here are few examples of what the mother wound can feel like. For myself, the lack of self and the critical voice were so routine, I didn’t have any awareness that I was treating myself this way.

I am here to share with you how you can begin to heal from the Mother Wound and truly take care of who you are, who you were and who you are becoming.

How do you begin the healing journey and really take back your power and live your life for you?

Three Steps to begin healing from the Mother Wound

  1. Awareness: is the key to unlocking the mother wound. Start to notice the voice inside your head. Is it cheering you on? Is it critical?

  2. Acknowledge: This critical voice is not yours, but you are the one listening. Deep breath, this didn’t start with you. Give yourself time to acknowledge you are doing the best you can and so was your mother. AND you have the opportunity to resolve this wound and avoiding passing it to your children.

  3. Affirm: Repeat this phrase and give yourself permission to replace the critical voice with a positve intention. You may want to try:

    1. I am in the process of loving me

    2. I am in the process of loving and accepting myself as I am

    3. I am choosing to take intentional time for me

    4. I am willing to be kind, gentle and compassionate to myself

    5. Every moment I choose to be kind, I am breaking the cycle of suffering

Deep breath love. First, NONE OF THIS is your fault OR your moms. So, in this season of motherhood while you are doing everything to survive, can we take a minute to recognize that you are doing the best you can with what you have?

This deep wound is a generational experience of a woman who came before us and who did the BEST they could with the resources they had. Back then, survival was a priority.

You already know what you need to do to take care of yourself but every time you try, something pulls your attention away.

This is the mother's wound in action. Or what I like to call a CODE.

‘Codes’ are how I describe a learned habit. You are the sum of what you have learned. You carry out those learnings in your values, beliefs and actions. The codes are the hardware of what makes you think, do and be.

The codes are wired into the conscious and unconscious mind and are the foundation for how we live, eat, play, rest, love, work, and be. We have a code for how we do everything

Knowing you need to take care of yourself but then not being able to creates a cycle of self-blame, being hard on yourself and can lead to unhealthy coping, which you then beat yourself up for.

I get it.

But this code didn’t start with you.

It’s playing out at an unconscious level. And as an expert in the Unconscious Mind, until we make the unconscious beliefs conscious they will run our daily lives unconsciously.

Change can only happen with awareness.

Today give yourself permission to sit in the awareness of the Mother Wound.

Action comes after awareness and can lead you to gaining new skills and strategies for coping differently and can come from a coach, therapist or mentor.

Without the skills to navigate those heavy emotions, you carry on thinking something must be wrong with you because everyone else has it figured out. (nope, no one does).

Knowing something, doing something and BEING something are three different levels of learning.

You know you must care for yourself, and you might do it sometimes, but when shit hits the fan, knowing only takes us so far.
