No One Told You About the Rage: The Hidden Side of Motherhood
No one tells you about the rage. The irritability that that festers throughout the day. It can be exhausting. It is exhausting. Here’s the thing: almost every mom that brings up the mom rage in sessions is asking “is this normal?” Almost every mom that is experiencing this level of irritability is asking “how do the other moms do this?” They’re saying: “I know the kind of mom I want to be, yet I keep ending up snapping at my kids, at my husband… I need better ways to cope.”
Something About Becoming a Mother Heals the Inner Child
Motherhood is both triggering and healing. It brings unresolved childhood wounds to the surface but also offers the opportunity to heal. Parenting allows us to break generational cycles by responding differently, offering the love and boundaries we may not have received. This journey isn’t just about individual healing: it’s rooted in the collective wisdom of our communities and histories, helping us reconnect with the strength of our cultural heritage as we reparent ourselves and our children.
