The Psychology of a Toxic Mom with Dr. Dylesia, DSW, LCSW

You've spent years asking yourself questions no one has ever answered:

• Is my mom really that bad?
• How much of her behavior is my fault?
• Why do the same patterns keep showing up in my relationships?
• Who would I be if I had been mothered differently?

In this powerful live experience, licensed therapist and mother-daughter trauma expert Dr. Dylesia, helps daughters understand the relationships that shaped them.

With her, you'll explore:

• Whether your relationship with your mother is defined primarily by conflict, wounding, or trauma,
• The seven types of toxic mothers and how each impacts daughters differently,
• The survival strategies you developed to maintain connection, safety, and belonging,
• What shaped your mother before she became your mother, and how understanding her story can help you stop blaming yourself,
• Why these patterns continue showing up in your adult relationships, career, identity, and self-worth,
• What it takes to separate what you inherited from who you are and begin healing forward

This is a compassionate, clinically grounded, and deeply intimate exploration of the mother-daughter relationship, designed to help women find language, understanding, and freedom.

Whether you are cautiously maintaining contact, considering distance, navigating estrangement, grieving a disappointing mother who has passed, or simply trying to understand your story, this room is for you...because understanding changes everything.

All attendees will receive a curated set of clinical resources to take home.
