If you have a mother wound, this is how it will show up in your relationships
By healing your nervous system so you can overcome your mother wounds.
The mother wound often stems from feeling unloved, unseen, neglected, shamed or overly controlled by the mother figure growing up. In relationships, it can show up as:
Over-giving or over-nurturing → trying to “earn” love by taking care of your partner’s needs before your own.
Codependency → seeking constant reassurance and safety from your partner.
Fear of abandonment → panicking if there’s emotional distance, assuming they’ll leave.
Self-betrayal → suppressing your needs because deep down you feel they won’t be met.
Resentment of feminine energy → struggling to trust softness, intuition, or receiving love.
Attracting emotionally unavailable partners → unconsciously recreating the dynamic of longing for a mother’s love that never fully came.
The steps to overcoming this are becoming AWARE that they are there and then doing the work to heal your nervous system so that you can find love within yourself - the self love and not have to repeat these patterns moving forward.
