Klappentext
Relatable stories and psychological insights on how childhood experiences shape us, and how we can reclaim ownership over our lives in the wake of trauma
Daughters who have experienced parental abuse, neglect, separation, and other traumas often find themselves in need of support later in life. (dis)Honor Thy Mother explores why our childhoods can be so haunting, and how we can build resilience through growth and healing. Through the lens of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), this book presents personal stories-including the author's own story of growing up with and learning to grow beyond her abusive mother-that bring deep psychological insights to life.
This compelling, inventive book helps readers understand their own experiences and those of others. Each chapter weaves together narrative, psychological research, and straightforward advice. The ACEs framework provides a structure for identifying and naming the types of abuse many daughters suffer, along with their associated outcomes, particularly "impostorism." Abused daughters often turn into high-performing women who struggle with the feeling that their achievements are undeserved. In (dis) Honor Thy Mother, Dr. Bridgette Peteet unpacks this impostor phenomenon and provides resources for women who are ready to move past the past and embrace their own fundamental worth.
Drawing from academic literature, research evidence, clinical experience, and personal history, Dr. Peteet reaches recovering adult daughters, clinicians, and scholars alike.
