Mother Wound Assessment for Men

https://storage.tally.so/1081a780-d1c1-44a4-a12b-52c8efb67633/Mother-Wound-in-Men.jpg

Introduction

Men with a mother wound often struggle with expressing vulnerability, which can manifest as a hardened exterior, chronic self-doubt, and difficulty trusting others in intimate relationships. They may mask deep emotional pain with stoicism or bursts of anger, often feeling unworthy or abandoned despite outward appearances of independence. These signs can lead to challenges in forming healthy boundaries and authentic connections, impacting both personal identity and overall life satisfaction. Recognizing these symptoms is the first step toward healing and reclaiming a more open, fulfilling way of relating to yourself and others.

This assessment is a guide that provides valuable insights to help refine our therapeutic approach and create a customized plan tailored to your most important needs and goals.

Please take your time with each question and answer as honestly and openly as you can. There are no right or wrong answers—just your experience, which is valuable and important.

I look forward to our time together.

Warmly,

Monika
