About this listen

No one has influenced the person you are today like your mother. The way she handled your needs as a child has shaped your worldview, your relationships, your marriage, your career, your self-image - your life. Our Mothers, Ourselves can help you identify areas that need reshaping, to make positive choices for personal change, and to establish a mature relationship with Mom today.

Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend steer you down a path of discovery and growth beyond the effects of six common mom types:

    The Phantom Mom
  • The China Doll Mom
  • The Controlling Mom
  • The Trophy Mom
  • The Still-the-Boss Mom
  • The American Express Mom
You'll learn how your mom affected you as a child and may still be affecting you today. And you'll find a realistic and empowering approach to filling your unmet mothering needs in healthy, life-changing ways through other people.

Our Mothers, Ourselves is a biblical route to wholeness and growth, to deeper and more satisfying bonds with your family, friends, and spouse - and to a new, healthier way of relating to your mother today.

Our Mothers, Ourselves

I love these authors. I did find the book insightful. It’s nice that John narrated it. I found the nook helpful. There was not talk of narcissistic mums.. or manipulative mums so it talks on many mum types but I feel it can yet be extended further to include these.

I would of liked it to explain more on how to become more independent adults ourselves. Maybe a chapter on the how to would of been good.

I do love how earthy and real these authors are though.. bringing more maturity through to our society. Thank you for what you do. God bless

The religious aspect

For non American audience
The authors are PhD one would think except objective accounts but religion transpires in every chapter
