Workbook Launch!!

We’re so excited to announce the much anticipated launch of this incredible workbook. Healing from an emotionally immature mother isn’t linear, but it often moves in recognizable phases. This workbook is meant to support you on that journey. Founded on research, insight building, and self-compassion, it is made up of educational content along with opportunities to reflect.

If you’re here, you’ve probably felt:

  • isolation in your experience

  • guilt for needing distance

  • anger you don’t know how to express

  • grief for the mother you never had

  • stuckness in a relationship that never feels quite right

  • a constant hope that she’ll finally understand

And you may tell yourself:

  • “I should be over this by now.”

  • “I shouldn’t feel this way.”

  • “I’m too sensitive.”

  • “It’s my fault.”

This workbook helps you:

  • understand emotional immaturity, antagonistic relational patterns, and chronic misattunement

  • name your feelings without shame

  • understand your body cues

  • identify your protective strategies and how they show up in your relationships today

  • explore feelings of anger and the role that anger can play in the healing process

  • increase self-compassion

  • name the grief

  • understand what emotional safety looks like

  • move forward from a place of acceptance and empowerment

  • explore healthy boundaries, understanding barriers to self-advocacy in different areas of your life

  • identify resources, strengthen your sense of identity separate from the role you played in your family

This workbook was created for people who grew up in families that did not meet their emotional, physical, or relational needs, and who are now seeking understanding, healing, and growth.

The workbook takes you through the Three Phases of untangling mother-daughter pain as outlined here. Grounded in empirical research, it offers opportunities to self-reflect and practical tools to implement as you see fit.

Inside the 200+ page workbook:

Psychoeducation

This workbook provides an opportunity to learn about and explore the clinical concepts common in antagonistic, unhealthy, and low-cohesion family systems. These concepts can help individuals to connect the dots of their own experiences.

self-reflection

Throughout this workbook, you’ll be guided to reflect, make meaningful connections, and better understand yourself understanding your past/present connections. Lasting change begins with the awareness of your patterns with clarity and compassion.
