The Primal Wound

The Primal Wound is a concept suggesting that mothers who experience early trauma, separation, or abandonment—such as during birth or early childhood—may carry unresolved emotional pain. This profound sense of loss can influence their ability to form secure attachments and impact their overall well-being, which they might then pass on to their children. Essentially, it highlights how early childhood wounds can create a cycle, affecting future generations unless addressed through healing and awareness.
