Why Do I Keep Reacting Like My Mother?

If you’ve ever reacted strongly to your child and later thought, “Why did that bother me so much?”, the answer may have less to do with the moment in front of you and more to do with the emotional patterns you learned in childhood. In this video, I share a moment from my own motherhood that helped me recognize how easily we can repeat patterns from the way we were raised, even when we promised ourselves we would parent differently. We’ll look at motherhood triggers, the mother wound, inherited emotional patterns, and how understanding what’s underneath our reactions can help us respond differently and become the emotionally safe moms we want to be.
