We’re getting into the thick of it with mommy issues, going no-contact, and EMDR therapy. Long story-short I’ve had a poor relationship with my mom my whole life. Now, my sibling is going no contact and I’m trying to figure out - what does this mean for me? I know that my mom’s issues with me are a reflection of her own unhealed trauma, but how do I tell my younger self? Because she is still hurting. I’ve started EMDR therapy recently in an attempt to dig up the past and move through those difficult emotions. People are entirely complex and multifaceted. It’s possible my mom was doing her best and simultaneously - it wasn’t enough.
