How to Recognize and Cope with the Invisible Effects of Childhood Emotional Neglect

The groundbreaking guide to self-healing and getting the love you missed



Was your mother preoccupied, distant, or even demeaning? Have you struggled with relationships--or with your own self-worth? Often, the grown children of emotionally absent mothers can't quite put a finger on what's missing from their lives. The children of abusive mothers, by contrast, may recognize the abuse--but overlook its lasting, harmful effects.



Psychotherapist Jasmin Lee Cori has helped thousands of men and women heal the hidden wounds left by every kind of undermothering. In this second edition of her pioneering book, with compassion for mother and child alike, she explains:

 
 * Possible reasons your mother was distracted or hurtful--and what she was unable to give
 * The lasting impact of childhood emotional neglect and abuse
 * How to find the child inside you and fill the "mother gap" through reflections and exercises
 * How to secure a happier future for yourself (and perhaps for your children).

A Guide to Self-Healing and Getting the Love You Missed

Was your mother too busy, too tired, or too checked-out to provide you with the nurturing you needed as a child? Men and women who were ?undermothered? as children often struggle with intimate relationships, in part because of their unmet need for maternal care. The Emotionally Absent Mother will help you understand what was missing from your childhood, how this relates to your mother's own history, and how you can fill the ?mother gap? by:

 * Examining the past with compassion for yourself and your mother
 * Finding the child inside of you and learning to mother yourself
 * Opening to the archetype of the Good Mother
 * Allowing friends and loved ones to provide support, guidance, and other elements of good mothering that you missed

Through reflections, exercises, and clear explanations, psychotherapist Jasmin Lee Cori helps adult sons and daughters heal the wounds left by mothers who failed to provide the essential ingredients that every child needs. She traces perceived personal ?defects? back to mothering deficits, relieving self-blame. And, by teaching today's undermothered adults to cultivate the mothering they missed, she helps them secure a happier future'for themselves and their children.
