Mom, When Did We Become Friends?

There are moments in my psychotherapy practice that stay with me for a long time, warming my heart.

One such example is when I can help a mother distinguish between her own past traumas and projections and her child’s reality.

“Mom, when did we become friends?”
“Well, when you were born!”
“No, not then… sometime later, just recently!” 😊

As a result, the relationship between the mother and child becomes lighter and more natural. It works because the mother learns to recognize and contain her shadow projections! 😊
