About Your Own Mother. A Handbook for Conscious Attitude Toward Mother and Motherhood

This book is written by the well-known psychologist and psychotherapist Irina Semizorova, with more than 17 years of experience. It is intended for women who have already become mothers or plan to. The author answers questions that are difficult to ask a doctor or loved ones: what if I’m afraid of pregnancy, does that mean I’m not ready? What if I feel irritation or exhaustion—does that make me a bad mother?

With this book, women will be able to understand themselves better both in the role of mother and in the role of daughter. Motherhood is presented here as an endless cycle of life. The author guides readers from the desire to become a mother to its fulfillment, starting with caring for an infant and ending with relationships with grown children.

The book addresses situations where fatigue and helplessness seem unbearable. The author offers practical advice that will help you cope with difficulties, stay a great mother, and not lose yourself.
