Lee Hyun-soo: Mom's Heart Pharmacy
“Why is my precious child blocking my happiness?” This question arises in the minds of countless mothers every day. However, mothers who have been pushed to the margins of society and lost their sense of self from the moment they became mothers, and whose bodies and minds have been battered by the realities of parenting, often lack the strength to reflect on their own emotions. Mothers who need emotional care the most find it difficult to even access professional institutions, let alone receive help from others. How can these mothers rise again? Here is the single guide to self-recovery that heals the broken hearts of mothers. Based on extensive counseling experience and neuroscience research, the author, Dr. Lee Hyun-soo, analyzes the struggles of mothers navigating the process of parenting in depth from both physical and mental perspectives, and offers practical solutions through real-life, customized parenting solutions applicable to daily life. Furthermore, she details the four pillars for properly establishing a "mental pharmacy"—essential knowledge that serves as a reliable lifeline for mothers in the marathon of parenting—enabling them to effectively draw out their inner strength. At the same time, she offers words of empathy and comfort to the wounded hearts of the "self" that have been neglected under the name of "mother." With "Mom's Heart Pharmacy," even a mother who is lost in the world of parenting for the first time will be able to hold in her hands a map of happy parenting that does not lose its sense of self.
