Why Rest Feels Hard: Understanding the Mother Wound to Reclaim Rest and Ease

Do you feel guilty every time you try to rest? Like you should be taking care of something or someone…other than yourself? If so, then it may not be you - it may be the Mother Wound.

We often think of the Mother Wound in terms of relationships or identity, but rarely consider how it shapes our ability to rest- not just to sleep, but to exhale. To allow ourselves to be embodied, to experience internal safety and peace, and to trust life enough to slow down. But if you:

- Often feel burnt out, overcommitted, or over-extended

- Believe you have to earn rest

- Show up for everyone else but struggle to show up for yourself

- Feel triggered with guilt, shame, or anxiety when you try to slow down

- Struggle to ask for help

- Find it hard to embrace stillness

- Experience resentment, exhaustion, or unfulfillment in your relationships and life

- Recognize perfectionistic, over-achieving, and/or hyper-independent tendencies

Then Mother Wound may be showing up in unexpected ways.

In this workshop, we’ll explore how it impacts your relationship with rest and ease, and how to embody and reclaim true internal rest. Learn:

  • How and why the Mother Wound fuels overdoing, burnout, and a dysregulated nervous system

  • Steps to unhook from people-pleasing and perfectionism (behaviors often resulting from the Mother Wound!)

  • Somatic and boundary tools to embody rest

  • The 7 types of rest and which one you are missing
