Counsellors Corner

How can I begin healing my mother wound, and what steps can I take to address its impact on my life?"

By exploring your feelings with a counsellor, journaling, and practicing self-compassion, you can start healing and addressing its impact. 

It's important to recognise the feelings tied to your mother wound—anger, sadness, or loss. This emotional acknowledgement is the first step in healing.

What emotions have surfaced for you?

Next, reflect on how these feelings influence your life and relationships. Understanding this impact can guide your healing process.

What effect do you think it’s had on you?

As you explore its impact, consider setting boundaries to protect your well-being. Also, think about what forgiveness and letting go mean to you.

Where do you see the need for boundaries or forgiveness in your journey?

Reflecting on your needs and desires is key.

What do you need to feel more complete and at peace?

This introspection can help you define your healing path.

What are you hoping for?

As you clarify your goals, create a plan with your counsellor. This may include setting boundaries, practicing self-care, or engaging in activities that bring joy. Taking action towards healing is a powerful step.

What's one small action you could take this week?

As you take steps, be patient with yourself. Healing is a journey, not a race. Celebrate your progress and seek support when needed. It's okay to take it one step at a time. 

Remember, healing is deeply personal. Listen to your needs and honour your pace. You're building a stronger foundation for yourself.

What's one thing you're taking away from this?

Therapy, self-reflection, and connecting with supportive people can also be powerful tools. Explore what resonates with you.

What's one step you'd like to take next?

Whatever step you choose, know that healing is a journey of self-discovery and growth. Be kind to yourself along the way.

What's one thing you can do today to nurture your healing journey?

Exploring self-compassion or a small act of kindness towards yourself can be a great start.

What's one thing that brings you comfort or joy?

Whether it's spending time in nature, practicing mindfulness, or indulging in a hobby, find what resonates with you. Taking time for joy can be a healing act. 

Exploring creativity, connecting with loved ones, or simply practicing gratitude can also bring comfort. 

You could also explore new activities or revisit old passions. Finding joy in small moments can be profoundly healing.

What's one thing you'd enjoy doing?

Dive into what feels right for you, whether it's reading, creating art, or anything that brings a smile. Your joy matters.

And remember, it's okay to follow what feels good, even if it's just a little bit each day. 

It's all about taking small steps towards joy and healing.
