Healing the Motherline

How is your relationship with your mother?This week, I’m talking to psychologist, Vanessa Wallace about her program, “Healing the Mother line.”Vanessa explains how growing up in a dysfunctional relationship with our mothers can cause us to adopt behaviours such as people pleasing and “good girl” syndrome, or carry deep seated anger and resentment which we then pass on to the next generation.We talk about inherited beliefs and self acceptance as a better goal than self esteem. And how by letting go of resentment and anger we can break the chain.Find out more about Vanessa’s retreats, both Healing the Mother Line and Anxiety and Depression Recovery on her website.
