π Healing Childhood Wounds Created By A Mother: Rediscovering Self-Worth and Compassion π
Join me on a journey of healing and self-discovery as we explore the power of reparenting and the transformative impact of self-compassion. π
Hello MindFull Readers,
π 3 Things I Wish My Mother Had Told Me π
Childhood experiences can leave indelible marks on our souls, shaping our perceptions and interactions throughout life. Growing up, I yearned to hear words of love and validation from my mother. Instead, I was often met with criticism and blame. Yet, from the depths of that pain emerged a profound commitment to rewrite not only my own narrative but to guide others in doing the same.
Here are 3 crucial messages I longed to hear:
π "You are inherently worthy."
π "It's not your burden to bear."
π "I believe in you, wholeheartedly."
Regrettably, her words inflicted wounds that echoed for years:
π "You're the reason we're stuck in this mess!"
π "You're so selfish and ungrateful!"
π "Everything I've done, I did for you!"
These experiences fundamentally influenced my approach to both parenting and coaching. Every interaction prompts introspection:
π Were my words rooted in kindness?
π Could my communication have been more compassionate?
π How can I approach this situation with greater empathy?
π Was I truly present and listening?
Over the past 5 years, I've embarked on a profound journey of reparenting my inner child. With steadfast support from loved ones, therapists, and coaches, I've transcended mere healing to embrace profound growth and self-compassion. It's a voyage I fervently wish for everyone.
