When we know that we are yearning for a certain quality of love that just wasn't there, not because we're needy, not because we're broken, but because we're human, and this is what little humans need to develop, most of us didn't get it.
Our culture is not set up
for parents to provide this for their children.
So it's not about lack of love.
It's not about somebody doing something wrong.
This is about growing up with an invisible heartache that's running the show.
You didn't know it was there.
You didn't know that's why you under eat or overeat.
You didn't know that's why your relationships aren't working.
You didn't know that's why you can't sit still.
When we're sitting on a pile of heartbreak without words for it, we have to keep moving.
The first sign I see is a lot of burnout.
Mother hunger can touch our career aspirations or lack thereof, can touch our struggle with our bodies and our health.
Long-term stress like this, a feeling maybe that something is just wrong with me impacts our immune system.
A lot of us have trouble with concentration because our life energy growing up went to finding safety rather than figuring out who we are.
All of our energy went into, am I okay?
How do I make these people around me, my caregivers, love me?
And we didn't really develop our own wishes, longings, and our attention span really got short-circuited.
So a lot of us grow up with concentration difficulty.
This is the most primitive wound our body can sustain.
