Emotional Fusion
When a baby is born, the mother dives with her baby into a “sea” of emotions in order to correctly understand her baby and respond to her needs. Also, in these deep waters, the mother gains access to her own sea of emotions from her life in utero, her as a baby and a young girl. Memories are often attached to language. Before there was language, the experiences of the mother as a baby are not recorded in a way she can process them and yet are there, present, in her subconscious. Old trauma, pain, feelings of abandonment, doubt, and much more, can resurface after birth. The shadow that becomes manifested with the birth into motherhood is not there to torture the mother. It presents a unique chance to heal profoundly.
I am inspired to accompany mothers in their deep dive into emotional fusion and their healing.
