Parent- Child relationships are undoubtedly one of the most treasured relationships we can experience in this life. I believe healthy attachment begins in the womb with both Mother and Father. When this doesn't happen, for whatever the reason may be, children suffer. Sometimes in silence and oftentimes unaddressed. Many assumptions are made about the health of the relationship simply because a parent is present. This week on the COUCH we are talking about Mommy Issues. What happens when that initial bond between a Mother and her child is never be formed? What's a little girl to do when her mother is unable to Mommy? When the pain and trauma of our Mommy Issues go unchecked and unaddressed it has the potential to really shift the trajectory of our lives. But with some soul work girlies, and lots of GRACE. we can be healed and without a doubt, overcome Mommy Issues. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/queenestherscouch/support

No two people's experience with their parents is exactly the same. The attachment patterns formed during childhood can affect your attachment styles in your adult relationships. Attachment styles are categorized as being either secure or insecure, with several subtypes of insecure attachment styles, including: Anxious-preoccupied. People with this attachment type may be anxious, crave closeness, but feel insecure about their partner leaving them. Dismissive-avoidant. People with this type may have trouble trusting others for fear that they'll be hurt. Fearful-avoidant. People with this type may feel unsure about intimacy and tend to run away from experiencing difficult feelings. Secure attachment styles result from having a caregiver who was responsive to your needs and emotionally available. Insecure attachment styles, on the other hand, result from having a caregiver who was unresponsive to your needs and emotionally unavailable. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/queenestherscouch/support

First, you have to face yourself to realize who you are today and where you really stand. Admit your mistakes and weaknesses. In a sense, know your enemy! Stop being complacent: how further will you go if you delude yourself into thinking you have arrived already? Don't be blinded by pride and ego. Accept that you can improve, understand that you can change; and in order to change, fight for it! Fight indolence, fight irresponsibility, fight the lack of discipline. Don't let them take over the battlefield. Declare war on them and regain inner peace. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/queenestherscouch/support

I started this thing a long time ago. A book, a story, a sermon, whatever it may come to be, it began long ago. I then add to it each time I am forced to face “her” in the mirror. This is one of those times. Beyond the brushing of my teeth and the washing of my face, but looking into those beautiful brown eyes, no, the very scarred soul of the little girl staring back at me. So lost and so broken, her gaze silently screams “save me”. And although my mind wants to yell back at her, “From what”? My heart already knows the answer. From herself. From pain. From fear. From the lack of just BEING and everything that comes with. From the very prison that she has so carefully crafted for herself with her very own hands, out of fleshly fantasies and human weakness. From the soot and ashes that once resembled a very fragile structure called “Life”. She silently and very desperately screams “save me”. And, I finally hear her, acknowledge her, and I listen…to HER. And, though I want to pretend that I don't know how, I reject that lie. I do. I know exactly how. And that is to begin with loving her. And loving her with a “Creator's Love”. Because with that love comes a liberty and a freedom that can only be nurtured by her “Creator”. A most loving Father. And when I am able to fully and wholly love her, honor her and allow her to simply BE; to accept all that she brings to this life, MY LIFE; it is only then that I can save her. And in turn she will surely save ME. Then shall she teach me how to save others like me. Women. Women who are afraid and/or unaware of the “SHE” in them and how to simply let her BE. To be that UNAPOLOGETICALLY – CREATOR EMPOWERED – DIVINELY FILLED – MOVING FORCE sent to change everything around her for the greater good. The Greater GOD. And so, there will be a gathering. And there will be a change because we are gathered. So let me gather myself because it's me she needs. To stand up for her, fight for her, and protect her in ways that only I can. For I am SHE. And it is SHE who teaches others how to love her, honor her, handle, and yes, respect her. And if I abandon her, what then becomes of HER? For can she truly be without ME? SO, I gathered MYSELF to gather SHE. And together, WE ARE SHE. #PARK --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/queenestherscouch/support
