A mother's love is not always unconditional and beautiful, like in movies.

So how do you know if you have a mother wound?

Well, you might have mixed feelings about your mom, or perhaps you had to cut off contact with your mom.

You may have this confusing feeling that somehow your mom just wasn't there, even though in photos she seemed to be physically present.

Or you may have daydreamed about other people's moms or moms that you saw in TV shows when you were a kid.

So today we're going to talk about the second part to the father wound, mother wound series,

and we're going to talk all about mommy issues right after this intro.

Welcome to the Inner Child Podcast.

Welcome back to the Inner Child Podcast. My name is Gloria Zhang, psychotherapist and

inner child coach. Today I'm recording this episode on Mother's Day and so I thought it would be so

fitting to address the second half to the series. I would recommend checking out episode two on

daddy issues, aka the father wound, to get a bit of background on what we're going to dive into

today. What the mother wound really is, is when your mother

was, for whatever reason, not emotionally attuned to you or available to you as a child.

She might have been there physically, and she may have met your physical needs, but she may have

been emotionally absent. And so there are so many reasons why a mother may have met your physical needs, but she may have been emotionally absent.

And so there are so many reasons why a mother may turn out this way.
