Its effects have probably followed you into adulthood.<br/><br/>If you have conflicting feelings toward mom--or if you wish you could get past some of the baggage that holds you back--this is your book. Combining spiritual disciplines and the best of current therapeutic practice, <i>It's Momplicated</i> will help you discover<ul><li>How your early connection with your mother may have impacted your sense of self and your other important relationships--and what you can do to break the cycle</li><li>Why you and your mother have the relationship you have--the underlying reasons that may be contributing to strain and unease</li><li>Tools and exercises to help you cope with some of the most common effects of a broken relationship, including anxiety, depression, lack of confidence, and trust issues</li><li>How to be the daughter and mother God wants you to be even if your mom wasn't who you needed her to be.</li></ul>It's never too late to love, never too late to heal, and never too late to trust God to turn the pain in your story into a redemption song. As you read <i>It's Momplicated, </i> you'll realize that while God doesn't promise to fix all your circumstances, He does promise to uphold you and lead you to a healing place of knowing you are truly precious and loved, no matter how your past has affected you.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>From the flap: </b><br/>When you hear the word <i>mother</i>, what happens? Do you get a rush of love or a flare of anger? Does it conjure a pleasant memory or a painful flashback?<br/><br/>Maybe you feel guilty for even picking up this book. After all, in a lot of ways your mother is great. But for some reason, after talking to her, you are tense and irritable.<br/><br/>Whatever your reaction, the mother-daughter relationship is <i>momplicated</i>--it is complicated, rich, beautiful, and sometimes <i>painful</i>.<br/><br/>And yet it can be difficult to fully understand why it is that way. Why can't we readily identify what needs to be fixed? Why is it so difficult to process the ways in which we've been hurt? How can we break the cycle of pain, become healthier, and move forward?<br/><br/>Written from the joint perspective of a family therapist and a women's ministry leader, <i>It's Momplicated</i> will show you how God's love can help heal the wounds of your relational past--encouraging you to have compassion on yourself, offer forgiveness to your mother, and write a new story for your future.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Alsdorf, founder of Design4Living Ministries, teams up with marriage and family therapist Edwards Kay in this compassionate exploration of the relationships between mothers and daughters. Looking at both their own lives and the anonymous case studies of others, the authors interweave self-assessments, personal stories, and prayers to encourage readers to identify and reflect on past traumas that might still require healing. Close attention is paid to early childhood attachment styles and their potential effects on a woman's behaviors, choices, and feelings later in life. The authors also encourage readers to look beyond early negative experiences and to place them in a context of larger meaning, and provide a six-step approach to changing false beliefs and unhealthy patterns: pray, identify core lies, explore their impact, apply God's truth, acknowledge the good, and live out of one's spirit-led self. With gentleness and acuity, Alsdorf and Edwards Kay provide insight to Christian women looking to turn past tribulations and pain into redemption and peace.--Publishers Weekly<br>
