Your Results: You may be carrying a significant mother wound.

Your responses suggest you may be carrying deep emotional wounds from your upbringing.

These wounds can quietly shape the way you show up in your relationships, career, and inner world—especially in the form of people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, difficulty setting boundaries, and a lingering sense of not being “enough” or being “too much.

This kind of wounding often stems from childhood emotional neglect, a lack of approval, feeling unseen or unsupported, or the absence of safe emotional connection. Whether subtle or more overt, these experiences leave a lasting imprint.

You may notice:

A struggle to trust yourself or others.
Patterns of self-sabotage or guilt when prioritizing your needs.
Difficulty asking for help or feeling emotionally safe in relationships.
An inner voice that is more critical than kind.

Over time, these patterns can take a toll on your confidence, your well-being, and your ability to thrive—not just survive—in your life.

The good news? You can heal all of it.

And that healing starts with awareness—like what you're doing right now.

Next Steps: Begin exploring your mother wound

If you're ready to explore what’s beneath the surface, here are a few powerful next steps:

Get curious about your current relationship with your mother.
How does she generally make you feel today? In what ways do you feel tension, guilt, pressure, lack of support or emotional connection?
Look at how you show up in your relationships. What struggles tend to repeat—like difficulty setting boundaries, fear of rejection, or abandoning yourself to keep the peace?
Educate yourself. There are great books, podcasts, and videos on mother wounds, childhood emotional neglect, and generational healing. Start listening for what resonates.
Work with a Mother Wound Coach. A trained, trauma-informed coach can help you get to the root, untangle the patterns, and begin reclaiming your sense of self, safety, and power.

Your Results: You may be carrying some mother wound patterns.

Your responses suggest that while your mother wound may not be deeply overwhelming, there are still emotional imprints from your upbringing that show up in your life in subtle but impactful ways.

These might look like:

Occasional self-doubt or self-criticism
Difficulty fully trusting yourself or others
Struggles with setting or upholding boundaries
A tendency to shrink, second-guess, or people-please when you feel vulnerable or misunderstood

These patterns don’t necessarily define your life—but they may still influence your sense of self-worth, your ability to feel emotionally safe, and the way you navigate relationships, work, and your inner world.

You might notice these struggles appear more clearly during times of stress, transition, or when you're working to step more fully into your power.

The good news? You can absolutely heal and shift these patterns.

Even gentle awareness can create powerful transformation.

Your Results: You likely have minimal or resolved mother wounds.

Your responses suggest you have either a generally healthy relationship with your mother—or you’ve done some meaningful work to heal past emotional wounds.

You likely:

Feel emotionally safe and confident in your relationships
Trust yourself and your inner voice
Can set and uphold boundaries without excessive guilt
Navigate life with a strong sense of self-worth and self-awareness

This is beautiful and empowering. You’ve built a solid foundation for how you show up in the world and how you relate to yourself and others.

Still, life is layered—and sometimes, even subtle emotional patterns can be rooted in early experiences we haven't fully recognized.

If certain struggles occasionally resurface—like people-pleasing, self-doubt, or difficulty expressing your needs—there may be gentle remnants of past conditioning still worth exploring.

Next Steps: Stay curious and continue deepening your growth

If you feel curious, here are a few ways to explore further:

Reflect on your current relationship with your mother.
Even in mostly healthy relationships, dynamics like guilt, emotional caretaking, or subtle self-abandonment can still be present.
Observe how you relate to others and to yourself. Where do you feel fully empowered—and where do you still tend to over-function, hide, or fear disconnection?
Keep educating yourself. There’s always room to grow. Learning more about emotional wounds and generational patterns can deepen your self-awareness and resilience.
Consider working with a trauma-informed Mother Wound Coach. A coach can help you uncover hidden patterns, gain clarity, and continue evolving into your most authentic, grounded self.
