Mother Wound Science (Part 1) | From Wound to Healing to Wholeness with Dr. D’Marti Burgos

What if the parts of you that feel “broken” were actually shaped by early attachment, not personal failure? In Part 1 of a two-part science series on the Mother Wound, Dr. D’Marti Burgos joins Perspective Shifts for Healing with The Hanged Woman to explore how early bonding experiences shape self-worth, identity, and our nervous system long before we have conscious memory. This episode reframes the Mother Wound not as something to blame or fix, but as a biological and neurological adaptation, and introduces the journey from wound → healing → wholeness as a process of discovering self-love from the inside out. Together, we explore: What the Mother Wound actually is (from a neuroscience lens) How childhood experiences shape self-image and emotional patterns Why healing begins with understanding, not judgment How shifting perspective creates space for internal repair and safety This conversation is for anyone questioning their self-worth, navigating complicated family dynamics, or seeking grounded, compassionate insight into why certain patterns persist — and how they can change. ✨ This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Part 2 will explore integration, nervous system healing, and what living from wholeness looks like over time.
