Book Description

Empowering and nurturing or destructive and dispiriting, the mother/daughter relationship is life's most profound bond. Whether your relationship is fortified with love and encouragement or weakened by hurt and shame, this book will change your life for the better.

Mother-and-daughter therapists Dorothy and Julie Firman have taught thousands of women how to bring new trust, healing and energy to their mother/daughter relationship. Now they bring their popular relationship program to you in this practical guide. Through thought-provoking exercises and poignant personal stories, you will talk more honestly about your feelings; find a new appreciation of your strengths; move beyond negative patterns; and create a mutually beneficial relationship based on friendship, respect, trust and genuine caring.

As a daughter you'll learn how to:

• Stop blaming your mother and become the architect of your own life
• Recognize and harness your authentic power and personal strengths
• Identify and abolish negative habits from childhood
• Appreciate your mother's unique life experience

• Appreciate your daughter's uniqueness instead of judging her
• Support your daughter without stifling her
• Renew your dreams and goals outside of your role as a mother

This is a book for women of all ages, one that is never too late-or too early-to read!

About the Author

Julie Firman

I have watched my goals and perspectives change dramatically over my 83 years. I was married before graduating from college even though I had gone for all four years. I just decided not to take any final exams because marriage seemed so much more exciting. Then we had three children and I decided I wanted to teach school. I went back to college and I received my degree when I was in my early 40s.

I've been a daughter my whole life, a mother for 31 years and now for the last three years I've been a grandmother. It's not the whole story. I'm a sister, wife, friend, psychotherapist, trainer, writer, beginning potter.... and more. I have a daughter, a daughter-in-law, nieces, a granddaughter, lots of “daughter” age people in my life.
