"This book is a revelation to those of us whose mothering was short
of what we needed. The author sensitively and authoritatively
weaves developmental principles into a compassionate understanding
of what it means to be under-mothered."
--Connie Dawson, PhD, coauthor of Growing Up Again:
Parenting Ourselves, Parenting Our Children
"With compassion and sparkling clarity, Jasmin Lee Cori describes
the effects of being under-mothered and what it takes to overcome
them. Her book will be of great value to new mothers serious about
creating a loving environment for their children, adult sons and
daughters who want at long last to fill the holes in their hearts,
and clinicians interested in understanding and healing the mother
wound."
--Evelyn Bassoff, PhD, psychotherapist and author of
Mothering Ourselves: Help and Healing for Adult
Daughters
"Jasmin Lee Cori has done a superb job of describing the importance
of childhood attachment needs and the psychological wounds that get
inflicted when an emotionally absent mother cannot meet those needs
well enough. She has skillfully laid out clear steps wounded adults
can take to identify their inner strengths and heal attachment
wounds. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone who wishes
to understand and heal the wounds that can arise when parented by
an emotionally absent mother."
--Shirley Jean Schmidt, MA, LPC, author of The
Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy: An Ego State Therapy for
Healing Adults with Childhood Trauma and Attachment Wounds
"This book effortlessly intertwines neuroscience with clinical
acumen in a lovely work of extraordinary depth. In her compelling,
heart-rending analysis of the importance of motherhood, Jasmin Lee
Cori has created a work as significant as Alice Miller's
Prisoners of Childhood. Easily accessible and very useful,
it is a must-read for parents-to-be, those in the helping
professions, and adults who have been wounded by a negligent
parent."
--Kate Crowley, OTD, OTR/L, University of Southern
California
"With a compassionate and steady voice, Jasmin Lee Cori guides the
reader through the difficult terrain faced by adults who have grown
up without sufficient emotional mothering. Relying on personal
experience and practice as a psychotherapist, she provides insight
and tools to help readers overcome the challenges of a painful
childhood and to move into the pleasures of living adult life
fully."
