55 - MOMMY ISSUES - Of course your Mom knows how to push your buttons, she's the one that installed them. Exploring mommy issues & the mother wound
Mothers define our childhood, so it only makes sense that they might define our adulthood too, right? In today’s episode, Louise is joined viral TikTok Therapist, LMFT and EMDR/TRM trained therapist and the powerful pair discuss all things Mummy issues and look at the complex relationships we can have with our Mother’s. They look at the positives we can take from our Mother’s in childhood and adulthood but also the way that they can push our buttons like no others. Louise & Lisa look at healthy relationships all the way through to toxic relationships, setting boundaries, commenting on our lives and decision making and more including: ⇢ The psychological model of the ‘Good Enough Mother’ ⇢ What we learn from Mom, and what we learn from Dad; ⇢ How often we look at the parent who made the ‘loudest’ or most ‘painful’ wounds - and ignore the quieter one; ⇢ How to understand Mum’s judgment, criticism and constant feedback - as well as the guilt when she always calls and you’re ‘too busy’ to talk; ⇢ How to set boundaries, why they are important and how to handle the backlash; ⇢The ‘Fleet’ Analogy - about how to have a healthy relationship with your parents (and family) that doesn’t lead into isolation or enmeshment; ⇢ The ‘Characters We Play In Our Families’ - how everyone is taught to play a role in the family and how you can change this when you shine a light on it. And so much more. ------ HEALING HONEYS (formerly OPENHOUSE)- STREAM MORE 🤍 Stream Healing Honeys on Spotify 🤍 Stream Healing Honeys on Apple Podcasts 🤍 Stream Healing Honeys on YouTube 🤍 Join Ad free listening CONNECT WITH LOUISE 💌 Connect with Louise on Instagram & TikTok 💌 Connect with Healing Honeys on Instagram 💌 Submit a question to the Healing Honeys Hotline 💌 TRASH TALKS: Submit Your Awful Dating Stories HEAL WITH LOUISE ✨ 7 Day Somatic Healing Trial: Daily Devotion ✨ Therapy + Healing PDFs: Therapy Shop ✨ 7 Day Free Confidence Queen Overhaul: Waitlist Sign Up ✨ There She Glows: 12 Week Life Transformation: Waitlist Sign Up Learn more about your ad choices.
