Workshop Description
The mother-daughter relationship remains one of the most disregarded and under-researched topics in the mental health profession, even though the mother-daughter relationship is inextricably linked to the understanding of our female clients. This can leave counsellors feeling unprepared when faced with mother-daughter relationship issues.
In this workshop, Rosjke Hasseldine, a pioneer in understanding the mother-daughter relationship, will unpack the often-misunderstood dynamics between mothers and daughters, and show that the dynamics between mothers and daughters are not as complicated as is commonly believed.
In this workshop and discussion, Rosjke will –
- Outline the Mother-Daughter Attachment® Model she has developed over her 30 years working with and researching mother-daughter attachment.
- Outline how to understand the dynamics between mothers and daughters.
- Explain what causes mother-daughter conflict.
- Introduce the Mother-Daughter History Mapping exercise, and explain how it provides counsellors and mothers and daughters with a roadmap on how to uncover the multigenerational female experience and the underlying reasons for mother-daughter conflict.
- Reveal the deep connection between mother-daughter attachment issues and the way patriarchy teaches women and girls to self-silence, self-neglect and self-sacrifice.
