Book Cover & Preview Text
From the Introduction:
The book GHOST MOTHERS is designed to stop your suffering and provide the direction needed to embark on your personal healing journey. I’ve included stories shared by my clients, and other women who suffer from the pain of being raised by a ghost, and while the details that describe these illusive mothers may differ from your own, I suspect the overall themes will be eerily similar. The result is the book I wish I’d had during my healing journey, as it contains the help that I needed from someone who knew what I was going through, who could provide insight, reassurance, humor, and practical steps to move forward.
Together we will explore the ways lack of mothering has impacted you, and then I’ll share with you what you need to know, and do, so that you are no longer haunted by your past. My goal is to provide the information needed to show you how to transcend the pain of being raised by a mother who wasn’t really there, by providing validation, illumination, and specific healing strategies to decrease the amount of time you spend feeling miserable, believing that you have done something wrong. The havoc that is wreaked by a ghost mother is invisible to those outside the immediate family, and this book is intended to bring this problem out of the shadows, while providing hope and healing to those who suffer from growing up this way.
