I'm Being Just Like My Mother

I'm Being Just Like My Mother": The Healing Path that No One Taught You
Understanding, integrating and healing the bond with mom from a systemic and transgenerational perspective.

The hidden conflict that holds you back... even when you think you've overcome it...

Have you ever heard yourself say:

"I'll never be like my mom."
"I don't want to repeat her story."
"I can't stand what I inherited from her"?

And without realizing it, years later... there you are: repeating her words, reacting like her, making similar decisions, living the same patterns.

This phenomenon is not accidental. From the point of view of family constellations and psychogenealogy, what is not resolved, is repeated. What is not honored, is inherited. And what is rejected... becomes destiny.

The unconscious rejection of mother

When we reject our mother - whether through grief, abandonment, judgment or emotional distance - we are also rejecting the channel through which life came to us.

As Bert Hellinger, creator of family constellations, points out, "We are also rejecting the channel through which life came to us:

"The mother represents the first great love. And to take her to heart is to take life itself."

From a systemic perspective, she is our direct link to life energy, prosperity, love and identity. And when that link is damaged or blocked, we see it reflected in key areas of our lives:

Failed or dependent relationships.

Constant self-sabotage

Insecurity and low self-esteem

Economic difficulties or professional stagnation

Feeling of emptiness or disconnection from life

According to Brigitte Champetier de Ribes, rejecting the mother is one of the main reasons why people fail to move forward, as this rejection disorganizes the family system and cuts off access to emotional and material well-being.

The solution: Taking mother from the soul

"Taking mother" does not mean idealizing her or denying the pain you may have experienced.
It means recognizing her place, accepting her destiny, letting go of expectations and embracing her with all that she was... and all that she could not be.

This inner movement is one of the most powerful within transgenerational healing.

And it is also one of the most resisted, because it involves moving deep layers of invisible loyalties, emotional wounds and inherited traumas.

But once you do it, your life begins to open up.

Benefits of healing the bond with mom

The effects of taking your mother consciously are manifold and transformative. Among them:

✅ You reconnect with your vital energy and creativity.
✅ You strengthen your self-esteem and inner security.
✅ You break cycles of unconscious family repetitions.
✅ You improve your relationship with money, work and success.
✅ You open yourself to healthy love and mature relationships.
✅ You release accumulated guilt, judgment and resentment.

In Hellinger's words:

"When we take our mother, everything that once seemed impossible becomes possible. "

🧠 Science and the soul: perspectives that support this process.

This work is not only supported by therapeutic expertise. From epigenetics, we know that unresolved trauma is transmitted from generation to generation. Studies in transpersonal, attachment and systemic psychology show how the maternal bond is the foundation on which our emotions, beliefs and key decisions are built in adult life.

  • John Bowlby, creator of attachment theory, already spoke of the structuring role of the mother in the child's psyche.

  • Anne Ancelin Schützenberger's psychogenealogy explores how unresolved family histories repeat themselves in life cycles.

  • Modern neuroscience also confirms that our neural connections are marked by the type of bond we established with our mother figure.

Healing Mom, then, is not just an emotional issue. It is an integral reconfiguration of your identity.

Practical exercises to take your mother from the heart

1️⃣ Reconciliation Visualization

Close your eyes, take a deep breath and visualize your mother in front of you.
Say to her internally:

"I see you as my mother. I take you as you are. Thank you for giving me life."

Feel the energy flow from her to you. That is the force of life.

2️⃣ Ancestral Gratitude Ritual

Create an altar with a picture or symbol of your mother. Light a white candle and say:

"Thank you, Mom. For life, for your story, for your sacrifices, for your strength. Even though I didn't always know how to receive it, today I recognize all that you gave me."

3️⃣ Emotional Release Letter

Write from the heart. Express what you could never say. Free yourself from the weight of demands or silence. Then, you can burn it as a symbolic act or read it in front of an altar.
4️⃣ Feminine Lineage Meditation

Imagine your mother behind you. Behind her, your grandmother. Then your great-grandmother, and so on. Repeat:

"Thanks to you, today I am here. I take your strength and your love. I honor your destinies and go on my way."

🔮 Are you ready to heal your feminine lineage and take your place in life?

Healing your relationship with mom is one of the master keys to emotional wellness, abundance and purpose.

The session was absolutely incredible! I was able to heal a very deep wound... Alejandra is absolutely sweet and beautifully grounded. My family constellation session was incredible! I had heard about this kind of modality, but never signed on to receive a session. Well, I've been going deep into my inner work, and it seemed like everywhere I turned I was being nudged to book a session. So I booked, and the session was absolutely incredible! Definitely have your tissues ready! What I loved. The most was some thing that I thought I made peace with showed a completely different side to look at and I was able to heal a very deep wound that really was hurting me personally in my life. Alejandra is absolutely sweet and beautifully grounded. She is so easy to talk to, and is so intuitive. I absolutely loved my session, and highly recommend everyone do so!

Amazing deep healing... feel like entire planets and constellations are moving right now. She is worth having a session with and discovering this deep river of healing love. Amazing deep healing: the place within that never was able to move never was clear never had a voice: all was opened up, revealed and spoken with in the healing space Alejandra creates and opens. She is very sweet and safe to share with and very focused on the work and healing that needs to be addressed here and now no matter how back in the generations the issues are located. She is very patient and deeply into feelings: she gave me time to really deeply feel inside and all the places shapes and forms those feelings are within me. She assisted me in speaking more clearly with myself. She gave me many suggestions for integration and deeper embrace of the work done in session. i feel very complete and very supported and free to return to her for more work if I choose to. I am gonna choose. All the power in my life is mine to choose and direct and show up in. It was fun, tender, deeply healing; feel like entire planets and constellations are moving right now. It will take some time for what was done in such a short time to move and dance and reveal. Again, I feel supported and safe and clear in the process I am in. I am grateful for Alejandra. My experience is she is worth having a session with and discovering this deep river of healing love that she offers.

I was reassured from the very first session that she was the right person to help me... I'll be forever thankful. I'm so thankful for having found Alejandra and have her guide me through my journey to healing. Having had unpleasant and unhelpful experiences with therapy and psychoanalysis before, I was reassured from the very first session that she was the right person to help me get control over my anxiety, overcome childhood trauma and connect with spirituality. I have been able to find a way to forgive and love myself and with this love all those around me. She helped me rebuild self confidence that have made a big difference in my personal and professional life. I know feel like I have the tools to deal with life's difficulties and find enjoyment in every day. I'll be forever thankful.

I will always be grateful for her dedication since there were days that it was challenging to speak and she had the patience and the right words. It took me years to find someone that I can trust about my personal life. I tried different therapists that only wanted to give me medication for my anxiety during the first session. However, Alejandra never give up on me and I was able to open myself about my childhood problems that I carried my whole life. I speak Spanish and English, but when I tried talking about my childhood in English, it was hard to express myself and finding someone that can speak Spanish was plus in my journey. I will always be grateful for her dedication since there were days that it was challenging to speak and she had the patience and the right words.

I've found each session to be profoundly moving... The time and experience has felt sacred to me. I've attended 3 sessions with Alejandra and Jay. I've found each session to be profoundly moving in a unique way. The time and experience has felt sacred to me, and that would not be possible without the care and supportive attention of the facilitators. I would recommend them to anyone interested in growth and prepared for a challenge.

I find Family Constellations Therapy an astounding modality... I felt they created a highly warm, caring, and safe container. Let's face it, meeting our challenges head on and create change in our life is not always an easy task. Nor is the direction always clear and comfortable. To gain more insights and discover the root cause of issues there's a way. Throughout the years, I have involved myself in many healing practices. I wanted to live a life that I could thrive in rather than survive in. I find Family Constellations Therapy an astounding modality for this. It has really assisted me to dive deep within myself. I have created more understanding, peace, love, balance, and harmony in my life with a way that I feel is efficient, has grace, dignity, empathy, and compassion. My experience with Jay and Ale was very positive. I felt they created a highly warm, caring, and safe container to do the work needed. I found them to be extremely passionate and excellent teachers and guides with this process. I look forward to experiencing more Family Constellations Therapy Workshops with them. Here's to being unlimited!
