About this listen

In Our Mothers, Ourselves, Henry Cloud and John Townsend show how understanding how our mothers have profoundly influenced our lives can set us on a path toward wholeness and growth.

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.

  • 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. Our Mothers, Ourselves is a biblical, realistic, and empowering 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.

This book was previously titled The Mom Factor.

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
