Healing the Motherwound: A Personal Workbook
If you've ever found yourself asking why your relationship with your mother — or the absence of one — still shapes so much of who you are, this workbook is for you[cite: 13].
It's not a workbook about blaming your mother[cite: 13]. It's also not about pretending the wound doesn't exist[cite: 13]. It's the honest middle path: naming what happened, understanding how it lives in you now, and doing the slow, brave work of becoming someone who can give yourself what she couldn't[cite: 13].
Written by Sabrina Peters — a registered psychologist who has walked this work with dozens of clients — this is a structured, evidence-based resource for adult children ready to break the cycle[cite: 13].
A 60-page printable PDF workbook with six guided sections plus a bonus tools chapter[cite: 13]:
- Section 1 — Naming What Happened (the five common mother wound patterns)[cite: 13]
- Section 2 — How It Shows Up Today (people-pleasing, perfectionism, body image, fear of becoming her)[cite: 13]
- Section 3 — Meeting Your Younger Self (inner child work, the letter exercise, 30 re-parenting prompts)[cite: 13]
- Section 4 — Mapping the Pattern (three-generation family map, intergenerational healing)[cite: 13]
- Section 5 — The Forgiveness Question (without pressure to reconcile)[cite: 13]
- Section 6 — Becoming Your Own Safe Place (daily re-parenting practices, self-compassion scripts)[cite: 13]
- Bonus — 30-day re-parenting journal, affirmations rooted in truth, emergency tools for when the wound flares[cite: 13]
Plus an optional faith-integrated section for readers whose Christian faith is part of their healing[cite: 13].
Who this is for:
