Escape your mother's emotional grip and make your life your ownYou love your mom--you just don't want to be her. Yet when you deal with relationships, sexuality, and aging issues, it is her voice that rattles in your head instead of your own. If you are failing to move forward and don't know why, "Oh, No! I've Become My Mother" will help you recognize if this is a result of the negative cues you picked up from Mom as you were growing up. It also gives you hope and the tools to finally untangle yourself from her emotional apron strings.
Relationship expert Sandra Reishus shows you how to stop listening to that "mom voice" and start making decisions based on your own values and preferences. Her checklists and questionnaires help you learn what YOU really want and how to make your own decisions about relationships, sex, and aging that make sense for your life and your needs.
Take back your life and learn how to:
- Recognize how many of your behavior patterns can be traced back to your mother
- Determine which areas of your life need the most reprogramming
- Interpret, analyze, and find your own style of living
You are not doomed to become your mother. You can change the script and live happily ever after not by asking "What would mom want me to do?" but rather "What's best for me?"
