It's All About Mom. Working with the Maternal Figure in Psychotherapy

Relationships with mom particularly shape a person's entire life. Our self-esteem and understanding of safety, freedom, and trust depend on how these relationships have developed.

But what to do if there has been no positive interaction with mom? Is it possible to compensate for the lack of maternal warmth and care? How can one overcome the layer of illusions and myths about the "good mother" and build relationships with their own children that are full of warmth and love?

Experienced practicing psychologists, authors of the popular book "It's All About Dad" Yulia Zotova and Maria Letucheva will explore the topic of motherhood from the perspectives of children, parents, and professional psychologists.

You will learn how mom influences the child at every stage of the parent-child relationship, what the basic functions of a mother are, and how they differ from those of fathers. Most importantly, you will discover how to work with the consequences of a lack of maternal communication and attention.

The text provides therapeutic practices for working with the maternal figure, which will help you restore your connection with mom, process past traumas, and create conditions for your own happy motherhood.
