We have touched on a few themes and very deep reflection and awareness of each one and sharings.
Here are a few points that I captured:-
✨The importance of the mother-child relationship in shaping a person's emotional and psychological well-being. We shared how the absence of nurturing, attuned maternal care can lead to profound emotional wounds that persist into adulthood.
✨How early experiences with caregivers, particularly mothers, influence an individual's attachment style and interpersonal relationships throughout life Eg parents pave the children’s life of knowing it is the best for the children and children may not know what their needs as they are provided 100% provided by the children or the need of the children are not valid as the parents knows best. Recognising one's attachment style can provide insight into patterns of behavior and help facilitate healing and growth.
✨Healing from Childhood Wounds by acknowledging and grieving the absence of nurturing care, developing self-compassion, and seeking out supportive relationships.
✨Breaking Generational Patterns. We shared the intergenerational transmission of maternal deprivation and the importance of breaking free from unhealthy family dynamics. By addressing unresolved maternal needs, individuals can prevent the perpetuation of harmful patterns in their own relationships and families.
✨Self-Compassion and Self-Care- Learning to practice self-compassion and prioritise self-care is crucial for individuals who have experienced maternal deprivation. By nurturing oneself and attending to one's own needs, individuals can begin to fill the void left by unmet maternal needs and cultivate a sense of inner security and well-being.
✨The Power of Awareness and Reflection: Increasing awareness of one's experiences and feelings surrounding maternal deprivation is an essential step in the healing process. Through reflection and introspection, individuals can gain insight into how their early experiences continue to shape their lives and relationships, empowering them to make conscious choices for healing and growth.
I would like to thank Rosa Maria for bringing into this workshop. It is the starting point. We are creating a new narratives Narrative to reframe our understanding of ourselves and the experiences. By recognising the impact of maternal deprivation while also acknowledging their own resilience and capacity for growth, individuals as us can begin to create a new narrative that honours our journey toward healing and wholeness.
