This secure attachment allows the child to safely explore their environment and provides the foundation for the development of trust. This secure attachment will further develop and later allow the woman to feel positively about herself and comfortable with intimate relationships, express empathy for others, and feel deserving of love. Infants who securely attach to their mothers become more self-reliant toddlers and have a better self-esteem. \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90376a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"90376a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen children are young the mother has a huge responsibility to guide and teach and later as the child becomes an adult an important part of parenting is letting go and allowing the daughter permission to be herself and providing her acceptance as her own woman. \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac57192 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ac57192\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe mother daughter relationship goes through transition phases.

Conversely, if a mother is unable to show love it causes the child to question; is there something wrong with me, why am I unlovable, why do I feel so empty and why do I always doubt myself? As a therapist, many of the issues I address with women such as negative body image, eating disorders, co-dependency, anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, intimacy issues, entering into abusive relationships, and substance abuse are routed in a feeling of inner emptiness. This void or emptiness is often the result of being invalidated by their primary care-giver. This void can be far reaching and remain with an individual long into their adulthood. \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a720999 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a720999\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt is important to remember that daughters imitate their mothers. If a daughter hears her mother saying \u201cI\u2019m fat\u201d, then the daughter is prone to view her own body negatively, but if a mother displays confidence and self-assurance the daughter is more likely to take on these characteristics. Daughters identify with their mothers. If a mother is more independent she is more apt to raise an independent daughter. It is important for mothers to remember these points and know how important modeling healthy behavior is for their daughter. \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3aaeb0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e3aaeb0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMothers aren\u2019t expected to be perfect and they don\u2019t have to be.
