That book was one of many that woke me up. . . . I began the process of reparenting and it’s changed my life.”―Dr. Nicole LePera, New York Times –bestselling author of How to Do the Work Was your mother preoccupied, distant, or even demeaning? Have you struggled with relationships―or with your own self-worth? Often, the grown children of emotionally absent mothers can’t quite put a finger on what’s missing from their lives. The children of abusive mothers, by contrast, may recognize the abuse―but overlook its lasting, harmful effects. Psychotherapist Jasmin Lee Cori has helped thousands of men and women heal the hidden wounds left by every kind of undermothering. In this second edition of her pioneering book, with compassion for mother and child alike, she explains: Possible reasons your mother was distracted or hurtful―and what she was unable to give The lasting impact of childhood emotional neglect and abuse How to find the child inside you and fill the “mother gap” through reflections and exercises How to secure a happier future for yourself (and perhaps for your children). Review: OH, MY. - I had heard about this book from I do not recall where. I will, however, recall how much I have learned from it. It is smartly written, backed up my years of research and includes questions, lists for the reader to review. It was a bit painful to read at times but the insight it has given me far exceeded that. I have recommended to my sisters as well. I strongly suggest anyone with mother's who had difficulty parenting or being present to read this book. It is illuminating and will give you tremendous insight as well as comfort that you are not alone in how you were raised and how you might continue to feel. It is helpful in healing. My mother came here on an arranged marriage from the Middle East. She was 17, he was 52. 4 children by the times she was 24. One summer they went back to spend a summer with family. He caught wind that she went to her parents and begged for a divorce (He was emotionally, physically & sexually abusive). Her depression was evident and, without disclosing what he heard, he sent her back here & left the children to finish their vacation coming back in a month's time. He then went into "hiding" with them. By the time he returned he had a new (older, old maid type) of wife and prevented her from seeing them (it was the 50's AND the culture in arab dominated locations here) She married my father to 'replace' the four kids she lost (adding to that, our father left her with 4 kids under the age of 5 as he chose drinking & irresponsibility for a life). A recipe for disaster in parenting in a healthy manner. IN any event (I am not one to be so forthcoming with this but feel it is important for context) it was not a healthy environment for us, we did not know about her past. My point is that there are a variety of ways that cause a mother to be 'absent'. Certainly alcohol plays a part for some. My general point is that there is always a back story and although this material was not available to those of us from a certain generation, it is now and gives a great many people to understand, forgive, and repair. I guarantee that. Review: Life-changing - This book is a game-changer for me. I say "is" rather than "has been," because I just read it once, like a novel (it's that well written!), and I now plan to go back and re-read it as a workbook and to do the exercises. Just after a quick read though, I believe - for the first time in my life (I am in my 40s) - that I can change what I had thought were core aspects of my personality, and that it is possible to heal the wounds inflicted by one's childhood. To know if this is a book for you, see if you can relate to this: I always knew I had a "bad" mother, but because I was not severely neglected or abused, I could not verbalize what the problems were and I even mocked myself for my own grief. It was only after reading this book that I realized that my mother used to ridicule my feelings, the way I was ridiculing myself as an adult; and consistently put her emotional needs ahead of mine, often projecting them onto me. At some point, I just shut down and refused to acknowledge any feelings or emotional needs, and this has continued into my adult life. I didn't think it was possible for me to be any other way. The book already has empowered me to believe in my capacity to make positive changes, and make me think that maybe, just maybe, I can be a good mother myself. Also, for those who may be put off by the mystical-poetry-and-yoga aspects of the author, please know that I am on the Ron Swanson side of the fence and would have rather spent a couple hours doing crossword puzzles or going to a fancy restaurant than reading a self-help book, but I am so glad I did. This book will make you make your pain come to the surface, but it will give you realistic tools for dealing with it when it's there. Bon voyage, fellow undermothered souls. ## Features - Experiment - Language: english - Book - the emotionally absent mother: how to recognize and heal the invisible effects of childhood emotional neglect ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #39,315 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #63 in Dysfunctional Families (Books) #75 in Parent & Adult Child Relationships (Books) #209 in Anxiety | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,379 Reviews | ## Images ![The Emotionally Absent Mother, Second Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716mqQSWLcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OH, MY. *by D***E on April 16, 2022* I had heard about this book from I do not recall where.
