There are few experiences in life as profound as the feelings we have for our mothers. The roots of some of these feelings are lost in the dark recesses of preverbal experience. The branches radiate in all directions, some carrying wondrous, sun-soaked moments, while others are broken, with sharp and splintery edges that we constantly cling to. Mother is a tricky subject. We protect the image of our mother within ourselves, we protect our fragile relationship with her by denying everything that could shake it, and we protect ourselves from the disappointment, anger and pain that we push out of consciousness. In her book, psychotherapist Jasmine Lee Corey explains how to heal from childhood trauma and become a confident, loving adult.Publisher's layout saved in PDF A4.
