Summary of Bethany Webster's Discovering the Inner Mother

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was as young as six when my mother told me she loved me more than anyone else. I sensed that my safety depended on providing her with emotional support. I was constantly playing family mediator, and I constantly buried my needs and observations.

#2 I was always the good girl who was expected to relieve my mother of her worries, and I felt I could not deviate from this role without some sort of punishment. When I was successful as a student or in the arts, my pride felt laced with the unspoken demands of Don’t leave me. Don’t surpass me. Don’t threaten me.

#3 After the abortion, I took a semester off and changed my major from education to psychology. I applied to graduate school and moved back in with my parents, supporting myself by waiting tables. I fell in love with David, a coworker and longtime acquaintance, and moved to New York City.

#4 The Mother Wound is a condition rooted in patriarchy that exists on four levels: personal, cultural, spiritual, and planetary. It originates from the early dynamics with our mothers, and it impacts how we see ourselves, one another, and our potential.
