Daughters How to Untangle Yourself From Your Mother by Julia Vaughan Smith is a book for anyone who has ever had a difficult relationship with their mum be it biological or anyone in their life they see as a mother figure.
This is a self-coaching book for women in difficult relationships with their mothers, who want to understand how these patterns of relating came into being and how to change them. The book explores the factors that influence such relationships from conception onwards, and what holds them in place now we are adults. It includes the challenges of being raised by negative, narcissistic, distant, smothering and dependent mothers, and looks at how they may have become like this. Mothers are daughters too.
One of the things we found interesting about the book is that it takes a very neutral stance on the topic. offering an informed and considered look at both sides of the heavily nuanced subject. It doesn’t blame mothers or daughters but takes a compassionate and non-judgemental approach to the topic. At the heart of such relationships is emotional trauma, and the book addresses this in a way that will promote insight and well-being. There are self-help exercises throughout the book to take readers on their own learning and change. It’s an extremely accessible and thought-provoking read.
