"The Peaceful Daughter's Guide is a practical and uplifting guide for the scores of women whose relationship with their mothers is less than optimal!" ~ Christiane Northrup, M.D., ob/gyn physician and author of the New York Times bestsellers: "Goddesses Never Age: The Secret Prescription for Radiance, Vitality, and Wellbeing", "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom", and "The Wisdom of Menopause"
"The work that Karen C.L. Anderson is doing with daughters in regards to their mothers is some of the most important work on the planet today. When we understand how influenced our minds are by what happened when we were growing up, we can then decide to let it go. In this book, Karen gives us the steps to do just that. I know from experience that this work is not easy, but it is by far the most important work I have ever done. Let Karen show you the way."
~ Brooke Castillo, Master Coach Instructor & Founder of The Life Coach School
"At the very best of times, the mother-daughter relationship is one of complexity. An unloved Daughter - a Daughter that is abandoned emotionally - experiences a relationship peppered with harsh behavioral minefields: enmeshment, confusion, grief, fear, anger, shame...behaviors that can take control, making it not the reality she wants, but the reality she thinks she has to live. The Peaceful Daughter's Guide shows a way to navigate this difficult minefield and how to come back on the other side to create the reality you want. This is not a book that's filled with behavioral data and no support. It is a first-hand account of someone who has walked the complicated walk of the Unloved Daughter and who has found a better way. It offers exercises to help bring more clarity (and understanding) to this relationship. It is obvious that Karen's experience is what drove her to create this guide. And it is what makes it such a sincere, loving and inspirational resource for helping others." ~ Jo Pillmore, Mindset Coach
"I've been a fan of Karen C.L. Anderson for a long time. She's kind, compassionate, and she gets it. Kudos to her on more evidence of that with The Peaceful Daughter's Guide to Separating from a Difficult Mother. In it, she brings to life how to maneuver through what for many of us is a very difficult yet primary relationship and come out on top--not to the detriment of anyone and much to the benefit of yourself. It's a valuable read for anyone who has or had "mother problems." And there's a bonus: The strategies she suggests could be helpful in any close relationship in your life." ~ Marsha Hudnall, MS, RDN, CD, President & Co-Owner, Green Mountain at Fox Run
