The workbook

Have You Called Your Mother

This workbook was created for people who grew up in families that did not meet their emotional, physical, or relational needs, and who are now seeking understanding, healing, and growth.

The workbook takes you through the Three Phases of untangling mother-daughter pain. Grounded in empirical research, it offers opportunities to self-reflect and practical tools to implement as you see fit.

Self-Reflection

Throughout this workbook, you’ll be guided to reflect, make meaningful connections, and better understand yourself by linking the science to your lived experience, and your past to your present challenges. Lasting change begins with awareness your patterns with clarity and compassion.
