This guided journal is a companion to I Hate You (A Love Letter to My Mother): Healing Paper Cuts, Mother Wounds, and Intergenerational Pain . Suzanne created this supportive, structured space for anyone who, like her, has been deeply hurt by their parent and is ready to gain powerful insight and heal. A Harvard-trained therapist, Suzanne skillfully leads you through a psychological examination of your childhood relationship with your parent. Through a series of thought-provoking prompts and questions, you will learn how your parent's attempts to protect themselves from their childhood became their method of wounding you, and you will see how those wounds impacted who you became. You will explore your family's specific lineage of pain, including the messages that subconsciously influenced how your parent was treated, how they treated you, and how you have treated yourself. Once you understand the pattern of generational pain, you have the power to end it. Suzanne also teaches you six personal transformation tools that have made a profound difference for her. With these tools, you will be able to take the insights you've gained and make meaningful, real changes. As you work through this journal, you will learn how to transcend your inherited pain and create a juicy, fulfilling life.
