A self-study course to understand and break the 'anger-guilt trap' cycle in Motherhood and use our anger and guilt for growth
A NEW WAY OF UNDERSTANDING ANGER AND GUILT IN MOTHERHOOD
Learn about what the anger-guilt trap is, why anger and guilt is so common for us as Mothers, how to shift our relationship to anger and change how we experience 'Mum-guilt', and the interesting reasons for why we don't actually want to rid ourselves of anger and guilt as Mothers.

What will you learn?
The perfect mother myth that dominates our cultural conception of what it means to be a 'good mother' creates a particular experience of Motherhood for us as Mothers, where we almost constantly feel guilty, and can carry a deep sense of resentment, pressure, irritation and frustration.
We're expected to give-up our needs, bodies, dreams, desires, time, and energy - all in service of our children - and to do so willingly and perfectly - without complaint.
This causes so many issues for us as Mothers both individually and as a community, and creates and then traps us in an 'anger-guilt' cycle that can be so hard to break free from.
This course explains to you what the anger-guilt trap is, how it operates as a cycle, what we can start to do to break it, and why anger and guilt can both actually be incredibly useful for us as Mothers - when we understand why they show up, and how to respond when they do.

Who is Sophie?
Dr Sophie Brock - Motherhood Studies Sociologist
I have spent 10 years researching Motherhood and have a PhD in Sociology specialising in Motherhood Studies from The University of Sydney. In my research I developed what has been described as a ground-breaking theory for understanding how Mothers’ lives are shaped by the social and cultural construct of Motherhood. I am also a Mother. Researching and writing about Motherhood is my life passion, and I’m devoted to this work. I also do not pretend to have all the answers. What I do have is a deep commitment to ongoing learning, curiosity, and my own personal and intellectual development. In my life and work I strive to lead authentically and with compassion and integrity. My intention is to bring you the very best course experience possible, with a hope that this content will enrich and support you as a Mother.
