When Mothers Wound - Training Video

Our earliest relationship with our mother can have a profound influence on our developing sense of self - and when our needs are not met in the way we needed, those wounds can reach far into adult life.

This over 2-hour instant-access online training explores why wounds within the maternal relationship can be so difficult to heal, and the complex psychological impact of experiencing a lack of maternal love, care or attunement.

Pauline Andrew explores different experiences of difficult mothering, from neglect to over-possessiveness, and considers how we can help clients face and make sense of their experience of being mothered - beginning with our very earliest experiences.

The training also looks at the impact of maternal wounds on self-concept, and explores maternal transference and how these early relationship dynamics may emerge within the counselling room.
