Publisher's Summary

Before a woman is anything else, she is a daughter. Her relationship with her mother anchors every other relationship in her life. Yet as an adult she may still blame her mother, try to change her, or fail to speak out about issues that matter. Harriet Lerner on Mothers and Daughters is a personal conversation for every woman who seeks to better understand the mystery of the mother-daughter bond. Dr. Lerner illustrates why our mothers inevitably disappoint us, and why it is so hard to stay connected - and stay ourselves - when differences arise. With specific skills and guidelines for changing the patterns that keep us stuck, Harriet Lerner on Mothers and Daughters represents this esteemed psychologist's most complete work on the central relationship in the emotional lives of women.

Thought provoking

This was really moving. There is so much to unpack here. There is so much to consider and ponder and I have to re-listen to this so I can create a list of action items on this. I learned so much.

Thought provoking and worth the listen

Loved the content. The speaker wasn’t my most favourite but the good content made that not so horrible. Very good information on how our systems shape the mother daughter relationship and why it’s important to keep fighting to change these systems through improved mother daughter relationships. I also like how she described independence versus separation.

Short, sweet & deep.

Very short but packed with incredible information. I recommend 100% if you are wanting to improve your relationship with your mother or find healing around a mother who has passed away.
