Greedy mother. This is a collective image. Greed is, first of all, greed for love, emotions, support, sympathy, and success for your child. And sometimes for life. Many people know how this manifests itself in life. Such a mother will not praise. It will devalue your achievements. This situation is probably familiar to many. You got almost the highest score, you tried your best. But your mother says: “Why not 100 points?” And you immediately feel “less than.” .Underchild, understudent, undersuccessful. You again did not meet some of her criteria. Why does she do this? It's a difficult question. You can ask her, but she won't tell. You can make assumptions and suffer from the unknown. But this will not improve the relationship between you and will not change your mother. Therefore, it is better to focus on your emotions and feelings and the sensations associated with them. Tell yourself: “I’ve had enough.” This score that you received will be enough for you. You are self-sufficient because that is enough for you. Enough for your development, for you to feel successful. You are successful because you achieved the goal you set for yourself. And not your mother for you. But what to do with the emotional greed of your mother? When you expect praise from your mother, you are in a childish vulnerable position. A child cannot make a decision; he needs the position of a significant adult. But now you are an adult. But by expecting approval from anyone, you unconsciously expect approval from your mother, falling into the position of a child. And it doesn’t matter how old you are or what position you hold in your company. There can only be one solution here - to move from the position of a child to the position of an adult or a caring parent. You've probably imagined traumatic situations from your childhood many times. The simplest thing in this case is to mentally change the course of past events. Imagine the best result for you in the development of the situation - praise addressed to you and acceptance. You can do this several times. And gradually a new scenario will form in your unconscious. The one where you are the best. Gradually the psyche will remember this option. Where is the image of a good mother. Comforting, loving, helping.
