No one likes to think about abusive mothers, but if your mother was abusive—whether through neglect, physical, or sexual abuse—I understand your pain. Walking through a shopping center, seeing daughters with their mothers enjoying each other's company, can leave you feeling like an emotional nomad. Growing up in an abusive or dysfunctional home with a neglectful or abusive mother leads to deep insecurity, profound loneliness, and feelings of rejection and abandonment that often resurface in adulthood as body memories from childhood trauma.

The unwritten rules of "don’t talk, don’t tell, don’t feel" can sabotage our adult relationships, having been ingrained from a young age. Many of us get stuck in rigid roles, such as the hero, enabler, addict, scapegoat, or lost child. Are you hurting from your relationship with your mother? Do you struggle with addictions or eating disorders and suspect that beneath them lie unresolved maternal wounds? Jesus is here to heal you. In this powerful podcast, Dr. Barbara shares her own story of overcoming 9 out of 10 adverse childhood experiences, including deep maternal rejection and abuse. Today, she ministers to women worldwide and helps people heal from childhood wounds and complex PTSD in her clinical practice. There is hope.

In this episode, you'll also gain access to valuable resources, including a freebie from Dr. Barbara at drbarbaraministries.org/rejection, where you'll learn about moving from rejection to confidence. Additionally, more healing tools can be found through the Heart Journey Community Membership at drbarbaraministries.org/community.
