Unfollowing Mum is a supportive handbook for anyone seeking to understand how the past informs their current parenting struggles, and positively move beyond them. Harriet is an empowerment coach, estranged from her own parent. She challenges narratives of unconditional acceptance and healing in parental relationships that still have a negative impact on you, and shows you how to create a new template for parenting your own children without having had healthy modelling.
The book will show you how to let go of family dysfunction and discover how to parent your children with a clean slate. You will learn how to heal your inner child, understand how to identify toxic traits you've experienced, and to find different pathways to break free from these wounds through self-compassion and honest connection with others.
With practical exercises throughout, including Cycle-Breaking journaling prompts, this book will offer advice for how to approach parenting when you are healing the way you have been parented. Learn how to forgive your own perceived parenting imperfections, and compassionately reparent your inner child in the present.
