Because chances are, when we were really tiny, our mother had other things she would rather be doing because she's human.
And the world's an exciting place.
And being a mom sometimes isn't all that exciting.
So we're going to hear that voice.
As we try to mother ourselves and we come up with resistance, that's a story for probably what it was like when we were little.
I think most of us can relate to pathological hope around something, whether it's wishing or hoping for our mother.
It may be wishing or hoping that a lover returns or that a boss would finally be kind or that we can finally understand our own child.
I think
hope is wired into us, where it becomes pathological is when the hope, we get all this evidence that it's not happening.
It's just not happening.
We may have done decades of research to try to have someone's approval or care or love.
It's not happening.
It becomes pathological when we keep on trying, expecting that if we just try it this way or that way, that it'll work this time.
That's where I really like to help people let themselves off the hook.
Relax, quit trying, see what happens.
Where else could we put your energy?
It sounds like you could use the care that you're trying to put out in the world.
No, no.
Let me be clear.
Siblings in a family are all going to have a different mother, even if it's the same mother.
