What is remothering? 

By Simona Vivi H

Remothering is a form of self-care.  A path of turning within;  tapping into our personal well-spring of inner wisdom.

What is remothering? 

Let's start with what it's not. Remothering is not a report card on the parenting we did or did not receive.  And while it is true that the homes we were programmed in will have an impact on our remothering journey, remothering is a personal journey.  We are called to the work when we are ready to live in greater self-alignment, when we are ready to lean into our personal power even more deeply.

Remothering is a form of self-care.  A path of turning within to access the mother qualities we seek.  Other terms for similar work include:  inner child work and mother wound healing.   While these terms are similar, there are also some important distinctions among these different healing approaches.    

  • Inner child work is often done in a clinical setting with the support of a trained therapist.  And while we are BIG FANS of therapy and therapists, we wanted to distinguish the self-care work from the clinical work
     
  • The words "mother wound healing" are (m)other-focused.   Just like the inner child work, we are fans. Opening our eyes to how our relationships with our mothers, our FOO (family of origin), and our society impact our current reality can support us in getting to know ourselves even more deeply.   The distinction is that, for many of us, we've already spent too many years other-focused.  The focus of remothering is about us (and future us).

Having named what remothering is and is not, let's dive into the  formal definition and the how-to of remothering...

 

Remothering (verb) The process and practice of updating patterns and re-wiring with intention, so we can turn within to access the mother qualities we seek.   reMothering (noun) the name of this website and the annual summit we organize for self-healers on the remothering journey.

Remothering is a form of self-care, a path of turning within to access the mother qualities we each seek so we can thrive forward with a powerful sense of alignment.

 is the process and practice of updating patterns and re-wiring with intention so we can turn within to access the mother qualities we seek.

 

It's a process in that there are steps we can each take to notice our patterns.  To be intentional about what we want moving forward. To be self-compassionate that we, as humans, all want to be able to turn to a safe, nourishing, nurturing, wise mother figure. 

 

It's a practice because, like any other habit of thought and action, it takes repetition.  The breakthrough comes when we can see the patterns.  The transformation happens when we've practiced so much that it becomes our new way. 

 

And, it's also a practice because we keep returning to the work again and again as we reach different points on our life's journey.  

What is reMothering.org? 

We each come to the remothering work with our own personal histories.  Our own preferences and styles.  Our own wants and needs.  Which means, we are  going to resonate with different resources at different times.  

 

reMothering.org is a space created to bring together the wisdom from across modalities, practitioners, and healers to be a resource for those of us on our remothering journeys.   Welcome.  We are so glad you are here!
