About this ebook

The groundbreaking guide to self-healing and getting the love you missed

“Years ago, I was on vacation and read The Emotionally Absent Mother. 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).

Ratings and reviews

10 pages in and the words are already becoming blurry because of the tears. Wish there was a book to prepare me for the floods these self help books tend to create.

I've never got chilled this much before!! This book will be the reason why I finally can put an end to my searching for the answers about undermother issues

I love my daughter
