Relationships between mothers and daughters can be messy and hurtful. But they don't have to stay that way! Join us as we discuss healing from mother wounds with a very special mother/daughter team, Dr. Helen Mcintosh and her daughter, Blythe Daniel. This is our second podcast on healing from mother wounds. We're continuing the conversation about mending our relationship with our moms.
Dr. Helen McIntosh understands the uncertainty of a strained relationship and the scars that can develop. Raised by a mother who
battled anxiety, anger, and alcoholism, Helen struggled to understand her mom’s verbal abuse, thinking something was wrong with her. Years later, after becoming a Doctor of Counseling Psychology, Helen recognized she did the best she could with what she knew about her
mother. She developed a deep desire to help other women hurt by their mother-daughter relationship and to raise her daughter Blythe differently by maintaining a good relationship with her.
