Why They’re So Scary and Dangerous

We first learn about ourselves and the world around us through our interactions with our mothers. We establish our sense of self-worth from how she nurtures, cares for, and protects us from harm. We learn that we have value by her empathy in response to our feelings, wants, and needs.

Our mothers are the foundation of how we grow as an individual and how we integrate ourselves in the world.
