The Emotionally Absent Mother: A Guide to Self-Healing and Getting the Love You Missed

Did your mother seem too tired, distant, or unavailable to give you the emotional care you needed growing up? Many adults who were “undermothered” struggle with closeness and connection due to unmet childhood needs.

In The Emotionally Absent Mother, therapist Jasmin Lee Cori offers a compassionate guide to understanding what was missing, how your mother’s own background may have shaped her behavior, and how you can begin to heal. This book helps you:

• Reflect on your childhood with empathy—for yourself and your mother

• Reconnect with your inner child and learn to nurture yourself

• Embrace the “Good Mother” archetype as a model for healing

• Welcome healthy support and care from others in your life

Through practical exercises, insights, and gentle guidance, Cori shows how many personal struggles stem from early emotional neglect—and how you can fill that “mother gap” to create a healthier, more fulfilling life for yourself and future generations.
