Mother / Daughter
Rupture and Repair
Tension between women and their mothers is common.
Sometimes it’s loud.Sometimes it shows up as distance, silence, or years of things left unsaid.
Many women are able to move around it for a long time.
Then they have children of their own.
Suddenly the relationship with their mother is back in the room in a new way. Questions about parenting, boundaries, expectations, and old roles start showing up again. Things that were easier to ignore before can become much harder to move around.
This is one of the places I work most comfortably.
Rupture in a relationship doesn’t scare me. It’s often the moment when something true finally has a chance to be looked at.
This work brings women and their mothers into the room together to look at what actually happened in the relationship and how each person experienced it.
Not to argue about who was right.
To understand the patterns that formed and decide what kind of relationship is possible now.
How This Works
This is a three-month process for mothers and daughters who are both willing to step into the work.
We meet regularly and move through the relationship together—slowly and with care.
There is time to speak honestly about what has happened, time to listen, and time to sit with the impact of those moments on both sides. We look at the patterns that formed in the relationship and how they continue to shape the way you move with each other today.
This work requires presence, patience, and a willingness from both people to stay in the room when the conversation becomes uncomfortable.
My role is to hold the space steady while the two of you do that work.
The goal is not to erase the past.
It’s to understand it clearly and see what kind of relationship is possible now.
