Motherhood doesn’t automatically heal the wounds of your past—in fact, it often brings them to the surface. When your child’s needs stir something tender or painful in you, it may be your own inner child calling out. This post explores how old emotional wounds can be reawakened in parenting, and how tending to your inner child with awareness and compassion is a vital part of healing.

Many women carry invisible wounds shaped by early gender bias—especially within immigrant families where sons are favored and daughters expected to stay small. This post explores how these implicit and explicit messages of sexism impact women’s mental health, through clinical insight, Jungian psychology, and personal reflection. Healing begins with reclaiming the voice that was once silenced.
