Daughters: How to Untangle Yourself from your Mother
Book •
In 'Daughters: How to Untangle Yourself from your Mother,' Julia Vaughan Smith examines the complex, often traumatic entanglements that can form between mothers and daughters and the lasting psychological effects.
Drawing on clinical experience, she outlines patterns of enmeshment, repetition compulsion and adaptive survival strategies that keep daughters bound to unmet needs.
The book offers pathways for resourcing, stepping out of entanglement and developing self-compassion and internal 'good mother' capacities.
It discusses cultural expectations, idealisation and demonisation of mothers and practical approaches to change relational patterns.
The work aims to help readers disentangle, integrate their experiences, and create healthier adult relationships and identities.
