Your mother wound may be slight, it may be deep, it may be healed, and it may also be part of your identity. We all have been affected by our mothering. Afterall, she is our first teacher, lover, savior, and villain.However you experienced her, you have experienced all of these effects to some degree. It is the degree of your experience, and the degree and type of the connection and communication between you and your mother, that will decide whether or not you have an active mother wound.Remember, having a mother wound is not necessarily a "bad thing." In fact, it is the wounding in life that teaches, directs, and guides us. How we treat our wound, and how it is treated, decides the pain or joy we can experience in life.
