How to Heal From Abandonment and the Mother Wound (Even If You Thought You Were Over It) with Pastor Aljenon Cooper

from Inner King Initiative · host Adam J Wilson

Let's Connect!You thought you were over it. So why does it still run your relationships, your parenting, and your peace?🎙️ WHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS:If you grew up feeling unwanted  or you're still carrying a wound from a parent who wasn't there. You've probably told yourself you moved on. This conversation will show you the difference between moving on and actually healing, and give you the process to finally do the second one. Pastor Aljenon Cooper isn't speaking from theory. He was given up at birth, adopted at four days old, and today he cares for the very mother who gave him away. If he can get free, so can you.💭 WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:How to recognize when a childhood wound is secretly running your adult life. The one decision that makes forgiveness possible — even toward the person who hurt you most. Why "giving up your right to hurt" is the doorway to your healing, not a betrayal of your pain. How to stop your wound from bleeding into your marriage and your kids. How to be present for your children when no one was present for you. What to do with pain that doesn't seem to have a point. Why the darkest season you're in might be developing exactly what your future requires. And how to keep trusting God's timing when you're nowhere near where you thought you'd be by now.✊🏾 THE BOTTOM LINE:God wastes absolutely nothing (including what happened to you.) The rejection, the abandonment, the pain: none of it is wasted when you let it develop you instead of destroy you. However that transformation starts with a decision only you can make. To give up your right to stay hurt so you can finally receive your wholeness. This episode shows you how.
