I grew up with a narcissistic mother. The problem is the way women are treated in this culture. Women are not just mothers. Women are human beings with their own needs. When women's emotional needs aren't met, they are emotionally unavailable to meet their children's emotional needs.

Thank you for the validation. Its been hard not to resent my mom for giving me her trauma even though it's not her fault

I have just started working with a therapist on a trauma that I have experienced 30 yrs ago and I am so happy to get this video in my email today 🙏🏽

Thank you for sharing. Along with Mark's work, a complementary work is Family Constellation Therapy there the dead ancestors or parents of the adopted childs are brought into play and the client can observe the dynamics and can heal himself or herself of the past trauma. This work is originally done by Bert Hellinger. There client can perticipate in the healing process himself. There are some fascinating videos including schizophrenia. Hope this will help many who are passing through conditions of extreme trauma, depression that generated at many generations back.

Wow, this is never ending! It means virtually ever human whoever lived or will live has or had trauma. So I’m a 66 year old grandmother who had unresolved trauma until recently. This means it was too late for my children and grandchildren. 😢

My entire family is trauma. Both parents and all 4 grandparents had top quality trauma. I wouldn't know who to pin my inherited trauma on to. Loved the book BTW.

Wow, it’s so crucial, parenting.

This has been soo helpful. My father died before I was born, and my mum wasn't emotionally available, so a lot of this resonates with me and helps me understand myself a little better. I will definitely be coming back for another listen

Wow that Alzheimer’s comment was profound, this was a phenomenal dialogue , outstanding work

Wow. I may have to come back to this again and again. So many gems! I felt triggered and empowered at the same time 😁

Thanks so much for this amazing interview!

Thank you very much for this.

So many things are being connected and understood.. Thank you so much for this amazing and healing interview 😇💗

I'm understanding this more and more all the time - and Mark's book is so helpful! Thank you for the beautiful discussion.

Thank you for making this video. I really appreciate it and I feel armed with insight and a starting point for me to heal, and to be able to speak to my children and my partner. Thank you. 🙏

Great interview, thank you 🩵

Thank you Sheleana for this amazing interview with Mark Wolynn. I litterally loved every word, so so interesting. I liked when he talked about the 4 different ways of "breaking the bond" with our mothers and how this can impact on us. I was wondering if this can be related with a break in the bond with our father too. Thank you 🙏

Fascinating and compelling - frightening

Wow thank you for this.

Excellent video Sheleana

From one of the earliest childhood trauma I can remember was being a young girl (from 3-7) and was terrified of being deployed to war. As I got older the fear has started to dissipate. The topic of war still rattles me sometimes but this all makes sense because my grandpa was force to go to war and my mother when she was a child and around the same age at the time had to go into hiding. my father was also very young and was terrified of being deployed for war and he also came from a military background. I never understood why I had this intense fear since I came from loving parents that didn’t speak about war around me and I didn’t know about their childhood experience until my late teens. I just had this intense anxiety that I might be deployed, I had to fight, and possible die at a young age. Very interesting and thank you for sharing what you have discovered. This study has defiantly put a lot of new insight for me.

Woah this was amazing

I have been recommending this book since I read it about a year ago. Mark has such an awesome vibe.

I resonate soo much yes...I am 24 year old son living with my mom, and trying to heal this inherited trauma etc, I came to this through astrology, the Pluto Moon conjunction which I have ...thank you for this, its amazing ❤🙏😇

I am shocked, my daughter sees how her dad neg. affected her but now I see how much I continued the trauma. 😢Time for healing ❤

Thanks for this video! When is the new book coming out ??

Really low volume :(

So so much trauma in my family.. My mother had no attachment to us and we became estranged since I was a young child.. Now as a mother my self I'm estranged from my children.. Your right.. But I do t know how to help.. It's been sooo long..

Same with slavery

27:00 Edward Tronick "Still Face Experiment" spoken of.

And what if the parents are abusive narcissists???

I wonder if our dads who physically abused our mums loved us? Our moms did. Did our dads?

Is there a link to the referenced interview on fathers? Thank you!

😊I see it clearly now how horribly cruel my mother was and is to me and how she is suffering herself and that I simply run away from her abd how good I felt when i was in a new environment!) I really was in pain in my family, there are lots of happy families and parents that are loving incouraging and not victims of their life! My mother is so toxique that I was pisically ill being next to her. In host families I was happy! Away I am happy!)❤🎉 I don't wanna carry her stuff with me wanna be happy❤🎉😊!

How would this trauma manifest in a 1 month old infant?

I missed the point about how to heal if you never knew your parent, as you did not know your father or who he was even. Can someone explain?

Im screwed my family tree on both sides has nothing but truamas. Explain why my cptsd is so bad.....sigh

I so want nothing to do with my ansestors they totally destroyed me

Please can you post the video that Mark spoke about with the mother and baby?

I wish Mark would see this and reply to qs ppl might have. What good is commenting with no replies from the expert😢

The book is perfect for victims who werent too badly abused by parents. However, if trauma/abuse was very severe, cozying up to evil parents makes no sense...u want to write them off. My parents weren't evil, but it would not be exaggerated to say THEY RUINED MY LIFE.

this man is talking about trauma and he has no concern with animal testing...how shutdown is that!!!. TOTAL CRUELTY that he cannot even feel towards other sentinent beings...I'm so upset by this..the poor animals being subjected to cruelty..
