053: Matrescence: Motherhood as an Initiation with Amy Borskey Duffer

Thu, 27 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -0500

In my early postpartum days, I remember Googling things like "motherhood identity crisis" because I felt so lost. I thought I was prepared for motherhood, but I was not. Turns out, I should have been Googling the term "matrescence," but I'd never heard of it. Today, I'm joined by integrative therapist Amy Borskey Duffer to talk about this powerful concept, which helps mothers create meaning and peace amidst huge life changes.

We discuss:

What is matrescence? The developmental journey of becoming a mother that affects us physically, emotionally, spiritually
Both Amy and Holly's challenging experiences in early motherhood
Acceptable cultural norms in motherhood vs. the raw reality of what actually goes on behind the scenes
Why we should question common societal narratives about the motherhood journey
Career vs. motherhood: can there really be a balance?
The importance of forming secure attachment in the first 3 years of a child's life
Understanding how personal and generational trauma can affect our mothering
The top challenges new mothers face (and ways to address them)
The support Amy offers through her private practice and program, The Mother Well

047: Why Do I Feel So Bad?

Tue, 27 Jul 2021 00:00:00 -0400

Many people feel like their pain isn't justifiable. They're ashamed of their struggles, because they feel like they had "a pretty decent childhood." This creates the question, "If nothing terrible happened to me, why do I feel so bad?" In this myth-busting episode, I'll answer that question, and offer a new perspective on childhood trauma and what really causes pain. Here's what's covered:

The dark side of comparative suffering (why it's dangerous to compare your pain to someone else's)
What really creates pain and struggle (hint: it's not what happens to you)
Your life rulebook: what it is and how you create it
Common "insignificant" events from childhood that leave big emotional scars
Why curiosity is key in the healing process
Creating new beliefs on purpose
