When Your Teenager Pulls Away: Individuation vs. The Mother Wound

Is your teenager becoming prickly, private, or distant? While this "pulling away" is a healthy developmental milestone, for mothers with unhealed wounds, it can feel like a devastating personal rejection. In this episode, Brittney explores how to distinguish between normal teenage behavior and your own emotional triggers, providing a roadmap for breaking generational cycles and building a lasting adult connection with your daughter.

With this episode you’ll be able to understand:

  • Understanding why your teen’s new need for privacy feels so heavy
  • What is "Normal". A checklist of healthy individuation, from closed doors to emotional volatility.
  • How to tell if your reaction is proportional or if an old nerve is being hit.
  • 5 Common Patterns of the Unhealed Wound: Over-controlling, emotional withdrawal, taking independence personally, enmeshment, and seeking worth through your child.
  • The Power of Repair: Why apologizing for overreacting or withdrawing is the key to teaching your daughter that relationships can be hard but healthy.
  • Breaking the Cycle: Shifting from a "perfect" mother to a "willing-to-grow" mother.

Connect with Brittney:

Key Takeaways:

  • Individuation is your teenager's job; she is supposed to become a separate person from you. If her distancing feels like an "attack" or "abandonment," you are likely reacting to an old "mother wound" rather than the present moment.
  • Use the "Pause and Name" technique. When you feel a surge of intense emotion, pause and say internally, "This is my wound, not just my daughter". This creates the space needed to regulate before you react.
  • The Surprise: The more a mother grips tightly out of fear of losing her daughter, the more the daughter feels suffocated and pulls away, creating the very abandonment the mother fears most.

Speaker:

Hey, and welcome back to the

Mother-Daughter Relationship show.

2

:

I'm your host, Brittany.

3

:

Your teenager is pulling away.

4

:

She's getting more private, more

separate, maybe a little prickly,

5

:

and something about it is hitting

you in a way that feels way too

6

:

big for what's actually happening.

7

:

Like you're not just reacting to

your 15-year-old, you're reacting to

8

:

something much more older than her.

9

:

If that resonates, this

episode is for you.

10

:

Welcome to the

mother-daughter relationship.

11

:

Show the podcast for mothers and

daughters who want to build stronger

12

:

bonds, deepen their understanding.

13

:

And transform their relationships.

14

:

I'm your host, Brittany

Scott, licensed therapist and

15

:

mother-daughter relationship coach.

16

:

After years of working with hundreds of

daughters and mothers, I've developed

17

:

strategies that help break generational

patterns, heal wounds, and create the

18

:

loving relationships you've always wanted.

19

:

Each week I'll be sharing insights from

real clients, expert interviews and

20

:

practical tools you can use immediately

to improve your mother-daughter dynamic.

21

:

Whether you're struggling with

communication breakdowns, navigating

22

:

major life transitions, or simply

wanna take your already good

23

:

relationship to the next level.

24

:

The show is for you.

25

:

And yes, the transformation I guide

my clients through can be yours too.

26

:

I'll share more about

how you can work with me.

27

:

It's time to experience the

relationship you both deserve.

28

:

Are you ready?

29

:

Let's dive in.

30

:

Let's start by understanding what's

supposed to happen during the teenage

31

:

years, because if you don't know

what's normal, you can't tell when

32

:

your wound is getting activated.

33

:

Teenagers are supposed to pull away.

34

:

This is developmentally

appropriate and necessary.

35

:

Your teenager is in the process

of individuating becoming her

36

:

own person, separate from you.

37

:

That's her job right now.

38

:

So what does normal teenage

individuation look like?

39

:

She wants more privacy.

40

:

She closes her bedroom door more.

41

:

She doesn't wanna tell you every detail

about her day or her friendships.

42

:

She might get vague

when you ask questions.

43

:

It was fine.

44

:

Nothing happened.

45

:

I don't know.

46

:

She's less interested in family time.

47

:

She'd rather be with her

friends than at family dinner.

48

:

She doesn't wanna go on family

outings like she used to.

49

:

And maybe being seen with you in

public might be embarrassing for her.

50

:

Of course, that's a bit extreme

and teenagers and kids are silly

51

:

when they start to feel that

way, but sometimes it happens.

52

:

She's testing boundaries and pushing back.

53

:

She's questioning your rules.

54

:

Maybe she argues a little bit more.

55

:

She wants to make her own decisions

about things like what she wears, how she

56

:

styles her hair, who she hangs out with.

57

:

She's more emotionally

volatile, her mood swings.

58

:

She might be happy, one minute and

angry The next and small things might

59

:

feel like really big deals to her.

60

:

All of this is normal.

61

:

All of this is pretty healthy and

all of this is supposed to happen.

62

:

But when you have an unhealed

mother wound, this normal

63

:

development can feel like rejection.

64

:

Maybe it feels like abandonment,

and it can possibly trigger deep

65

:

fears that have nothing to do with

your teenager and everything to

66

:

do with your own mother wound.

67

:

If you experience your own mother's

control, emotional unavailability

68

:

or criticism, your teenager's normal

distancing hits a very old nerve if

69

:

your mother was emotionally unavailable.

70

:

Your teenager's need for privacy

might feel like rejection.

71

:

You might take it personally when she

doesn't wanna share everything with you.

72

:

If your mother was critical, your

teenager's moodiness or pushback

73

:

might feel like an attack.

74

:

You might become overly sensitive

to any perceived disrespect.

75

:

The wound makes everything feel bigger

and more dangerous than it actually is.

76

:

So how do you know if you're responding

to normal teenage behavior or if

77

:

your wound is getting triggered?

78

:

Check the intensity of

your emotional reaction.

79

:

If your 14-year-old says she doesn't wanna

go to the store with you and you feel

80

:

mildly disappointed, that's proportional.

81

:

That doesn't sound too bad.

82

:

If you feel devastated, rejected,

or even angry in a way that

83

:

seems too big for this situation,

that's probably your mother wound.

84

:

Notice your body's response if you

feel a tightness in your chest and

85

:

not in your stomach, or a surge of

panic when your teenager wants space.

86

:

Your nervous system might be reacting to

something old, not to something present.

87

:

Ask yourself, is my response

about what's happening right now?

88

:

Or is it about what

I'm afraid will happen?

89

:

If you're catastrophizing thinking

she's pulling away and eventually

90

:

she'll want nothing to do with me,

that's probably your wound talking.

91

:

Look at the story you're creating.

92

:

If your teenager says, I'm going

to my room, and you immediately

93

:

think, she doesn't wanna be

around me, I'm losing her.

94

:

I'm a bad mother.

95

:

You're not responding to

what's actually happening.

96

:

You're probably responding to an old fear.

97

:

Now, let's talk about what happens

when you're mothering a teenager

98

:

with an unhealed mother wound.

99

:

What patterns show up?

100

:

What gets passed down without

you meaning to pass it down?

101

:

The first one is over Controlling.

102

:

This is one of the most common patterns.

103

:

You become hypervigilant about who she's

with, where she's going, what she's doing.

104

:

You need to know everything.

105

:

You check her phone, you read her

text, you monitor her social media.

106

:

What this sounds like.

107

:

Who's going to be there?

108

:

I need names.

109

:

Let me see your phone.

110

:

You're not wearing that.

111

:

I don't think you should

be friends with her.

112

:

On the surface, this looks

like protective parenting, but

113

:

underneath, it's often about anxiety.

114

:

Your need to feel in control

because you felt so out of

115

:

control in your own childhood.

116

:

The problem is the tighter you

grip, the more your teenager

117

:

needs to pull away to breathe.

118

:

Now these examples are nuanced.

119

:

I'm not telling you to not have

standards or to keep your daughter safe.

120

:

The world is scary.

121

:

You must protect your daughter, but

if you're authoritarian instead of

122

:

authoritative, she will pick up on that.

123

:

It's not that questions or statements like

this are bad, they inherently are not.

124

:

They're there to keep your daughter

safe, but if you're showing your

125

:

daughter, you don't trust her and

you're not working to build trust,

126

:

these statements will backfire.

127

:

The next example is emotional withdrawal.

128

:

This is the opposite response,

but comes from the same wound.

129

:

When your teenager pulls

away, you pull away too.

130

:

You shut down emotionally as

a form of self-protection.

131

:

What this might look like, giving her

the silent treatment when she doesn't

132

:

wanna spend time with you, becoming cold

or distant when she's moody with you.

133

:

Withdrawing affection or warmth because

she doesn't meet your emotional needs.

134

:

Making comments like, fine, I

guess you don't need me anymore.

135

:

You learn this from your own mother.

136

:

Perhaps when she was hurt, she withdrew.

137

:

So now when you're hurt by your teenager's

normal development, you do the same thing.

138

:

The next one is taking your

teenager's independence.

139

:

Personally, every step toward independence

feels like a personal rejection instead

140

:

of a normal developmental milestone.

141

:

What this sounds like.

142

:

You never wanna spend

time with me anymore.

143

:

You used to tell me everything and

now you don't tell me anything.

144

:

I guess I'm not good enough for you.

145

:

You're so distant lately.

146

:

Did I do something wrong?

147

:

This puts your teenager

in an impossible position.

148

:

She's trying to grow up, which is her

job, but your hurt makes her feel guilty

149

:

for doing what she's supposed to do.

150

:

The next example of something

that can be passed down without

151

:

realizing it is in mesh.

152

:

This is when the boundaries between

you and your teenager are too blurred.

153

:

You rely on her for emotional support.

154

:

You make her responsible

for your feelings.

155

:

You treat her more like a friend or

a therapist than your own daughter.

156

:

What this might look like confiding

in her about adult problems, your

157

:

marriage or your relationships, your

finances, your friendships, soar.

158

:

Any other relationship that you're a part

of, needing her to make you feel better

159

:

when you're upset, getting hurt, when

she doesn't wanna hear about your day.

160

:

Making her your primary

source of emotional support.

161

:

This recreates the parentification

you might have experienced as

162

:

a child when you had to take

care of your mother's emotions.

163

:

Now, without meaning to, you might be

doing the same thing to your daughter.

164

:

And the last example of something

that can be passed down without

165

:

even realizing it is needing your

teenager to make you feel okay.

166

:

This is when your sense of worth

or wellbeing is too dependent

167

:

on your teenager's behavior,

mood, or closeness to you.

168

:

This might sound like feeling

devastated when she's mad at you.

169

:

Needing reassurance that

she still loves you.

170

:

Your mood matches hers.

171

:

If she's happy, you're happy.

172

:

If she's distant, you're devastated.

173

:

Feeling like you're feeling as

a mother when she's struggling.

174

:

These patterns are not character F floss.

175

:

They are learned responses

from your own wound.

176

:

This is how you learn to survive

your own mother's behavior, and now

177

:

you're unconsciously repeating it.

178

:

Recognizing these patterns is the

first real step to changing them.

179

:

You can't change what you can't see.

180

:

Now, some of you may be

listening and thinking like, do

181

:

these things actually happen?

182

:

Are these actually happening in

mother-daughter relationships where

183

:

a mom is parenting a teenager?

184

:

And the answer is simply yes.

185

:

I have seen most of these and I have

helped moms work through some of these.

186

:

So they are real.

187

:

I only put them in as examples

because I've seen them happen

188

:

and I've worked directly with a

mom or maybe a teenage daughter.

189

:

Who was experiencing this?

190

:

So here's the irony.

191

:

The mother, who is most afraid

of her daughter pulling away is

192

:

often unconsciously doing the

things that push her further.

193

:

Let me give you an example.

194

:

A mother is terrified of losing her

teenage daughter, so she becomes

195

:

controlling, checking her phone,

questioning her constantly, not

196

:

giving her privacy, reading her

journal, going through her room.

197

:

When she's at school, the daughter

feels suffocated and pulls away more.

198

:

The mother panics and tightens her grip.

199

:

The daughter rebels harder.

200

:

The mother sees this as evidence

as she's losing her daughter,

201

:

so she controls even more.

202

:

Can you see the loop

that starts to happen?

203

:

The fear of abandonment creates

the very abandonment she's afraid

204

:

of, or here's another example.

205

:

Mother feels rejected when her

teenager wants space, so she withdraws

206

:

emotionally to protect herself.

207

:

The teenager feels her mother's coldness

and thinks she doesn't care about

208

:

me, so she stops trying to connect.

209

:

The mother sees this as proof that

her daughter doesn't need her.

210

:

So she withdraws further.

211

:

The wound creates the, the exact dynamic

it's trying to prevent, and the idea

212

:

that your teenager doesn't need you.

213

:

When I hear this one, this one

always baffles me a little bit

214

:

because I've heard it many times.

215

:

And I want you to know you

teenager always needs you.

216

:

She just needs you in different ways

or in new ways, or she needs something

217

:

different or specific from you.

218

:

There's never a situation where

your teenager does not need

219

:

you and not even teenager.

220

:

There's never a situation where

your daughter doesn't need you.

221

:

She just needs you in a different way.

222

:

You have to pay attention to

the girl that's in front of you.

223

:

So what do you actually

do when you're triggered?

224

:

When your teenager says

something or does something and

225

:

you feel the surge of emotion?

226

:

That's way too big for the moment.

227

:

Name it internally before you react

externally, the first step is catching it.

228

:

In the moment when you feel triggered,

pause and say to yourself, or just

229

:

think inside your head, this is

my wound, not just my daughter.

230

:

This doesn't mean your daughter's

behavior is okay if it's actually

231

:

disrespectful, but if it means you're

recognizing that the intensity of what

232

:

you're feeling is more than just what's

happening right now, then you're on the

233

:

step two, slowing down your reactions.

234

:

Think my daughter just told me she

doesn't wanna go run errands with me.

235

:

I feel devastated.

236

:

That's too big of a

feeling for this situation.

237

:

This is my abandonment wound talking.

238

:

I'm not just devastated about

what my teenager just said.

239

:

Just naming it creates a tiny bit of

space between the wound and your response.

240

:

Create space between the

trigger and your response that

241

:

your daughter actually hears.

242

:

This can be hard and it takes

practice, but it's one of the

243

:

most important skills that you can

develop when you feel triggered.

244

:

Don't respond immediately.

245

:

Here's what you can do instead.

246

:

Take a few deep breaths.

247

:

Actually count them.

248

:

Breathe in for four seconds.

249

:

Hold for four.

250

:

Breathe out for four.

251

:

This signals to your nervous system that

you're not actually in any kind of danger.

252

:

Maybe you need to leave the room.

253

:

Tell your daughter you need a minute.

254

:

Go to the bathroom.

255

:

Go outside.

256

:

Go to your bedroom.

257

:

Give yourself a few minutes to

regulate Before you respond,

258

:

feel your feet on the floor.

259

:

This can be a grounding technique.

260

:

Notice the physical sensation of your

feet, making contact with the ground.

261

:

This brings you back

to the present moment.

262

:

Instead of being lost in the old wound,

ask yourself, what does my teenager

263

:

actually need from me right now?

264

:

Not what does my wound need,

but what does she need?

265

:

Usually she needs you to stay calm,

to respect her autonomy, to not

266

:

take her mood or her need for space.

267

:

Personally.

268

:

Put your hands on your heart and remind

yourself she's supposed to pull away.

269

:

This is healthy.

270

:

This is not about me.

271

:

I can handle this.

272

:

This won't be perfect.

273

:

You won't always catch it in time.

274

:

But even catching it 30% of the

time is better than 0% of the time.

275

:

Repair when you get it wrong

because you will get it wrong.

276

:

Sometimes you'll snap at

her when you didn't mean to.

277

:

You'll say something

controlling or guilt inducing.

278

:

You'll withdraw when you

should have stayed present.

279

:

You are human.

280

:

What matters is that you

come back and repair.

281

:

Here's what repair can sound like.

282

:

Earlier when you said you didn't wanna

come to dinner with us, I got upset.

283

:

That wasn't fair to you.

284

:

You're allowed to want time alone.

285

:

I'm working on not taking that personally,

or I was cold to you this morning after

286

:

our argument last night that wasn't okay.

287

:

You are upset with me and that's allowed.

288

:

I shouldn't have withdrawn like

that, or I overreacted when you

289

:

didn't wanna tell me about your day.

290

:

You don't owe me all your

thoughts and feelings.

291

:

I'm sorry I made you

feel guilty about that.

292

:

Notice what these repairs have in common.

293

:

They take responsibility without

overexplaining or making excuses.

294

:

They name the behavior that was hurtful.

295

:

They validate your teenager's experience.

296

:

Brittney Scott: They don't

ask the teenager to make you

297

:

feel better about messing up.

298

:

Repair teaches your

daughter that relationship.

299

:

Ruptures can be fixed, that adults can

take accountability, that she doesn't

300

:

have to be perfect and neither do you.

301

:

I want you to know that doing

this now while your daughter's

302

:

a teenager, is so important.

303

:

The relationship you build during

the teenage years sets the example

304

:

for the adult relationship.

305

:

How you handle her individuation now

directly impacts whether she'll be

306

:

close to you when she's 25, 35, even 45.

307

:

If you can let her pull away

without punishing her for it,

308

:

she'll learn that she can have

her own life and still have you.

309

:

She'll learn that she can

figure some things out.

310

:

And figure out who she wants to be and

maybe make a mistake or two here and

311

:

there and still have you support her.

312

:

If you can respect her privacy age

appropriately, of course, without

313

:

making her feel guilty, she'll learn

that boundaries are safe with you.

314

:

If you can stay connected even when

she's moody or distant, she'll learn

315

:

that your love isn't conditional on

her meeting your emotional needs.

316

:

But if she has to fight for every inch of

independence, if she learns that having

317

:

her own thoughts means you'll be hurt.

318

:

If she feels responsible for your

emotions during these years, she'll either

319

:

stay enmeshed with you out of guilt,

or she'll run away as far as she can.

320

:

the template you create now

matters for the rest of her life.

321

:

The mother who does her own work now

changes what her daughter inherits.

322

:

This is a cycle breaking moment.

323

:

Your daughter is watching

how you handle your emotions.

324

:

She's learning from what it means to be a

woman, what it means to be a mother, what

325

:

relationships are supposed to look like.

326

:

If you can do the hard work of

recognizing your triggers, regulating

327

:

your emotions, repairing what you

mess up, you might be teaching her

328

:

skills your mother never taught you.

329

:

You're showing her that it's

possible to feel big feelings

:

and not be controlled by them.

331

:

You're showing her that people

can take accountability.

332

:

You are showing her that relationships

can be healthy even when they're hard.

333

:

This is how generational patterns

change, not through perfection,

334

:

but through awareness and

willingness to do it differently.

335

:

You don't have to have it all figured out.

336

:

You don't have to have healed your

entire mother wound before you can

337

:

be a good mother to your teenager.

338

:

You don't need to never get triggered.

339

:

You don't need to respond

perfectly every time.

340

:

You don't have to be a perfect

mother because a perfect

341

:

mother doesn't even exist.

342

:

You just have to be willing to look at

it to notice where your wound is showing

343

:

up to take responsibility when you get

it wrong, to keep trying to do better.

344

:

Your daughter doesn't

need a perfect mother.

345

:

She needs a mother who's willing to

grow, who can admit when she's wrong,

346

:

who keeps showing up even when it's hard.

347

:

If you are mothering a teenager

while carrying an unhealed

348

:

mother wound, I see you.

349

:

You're trying to show up for

your daughter while also dealing

350

:

with your own pain and triggers.

351

:

Your teenagers pulling away is

not evidence that you're failing.

352

:

It's evidence that she's

developing exactly as she should.

353

:

Your job is not to prevent her from

individuating is to let her do it

354

:

while staying connected, while staying

regulated, while staying present.

355

:

And when you mess up because you

will, you are human, you repair,

356

:

you come back, you try again.

357

:

That's what breaks the

cycle, not perfection.

358

:

Persistent willingness to do it

differently than it was done to you.

359

:

I'm hosting a free live training called

the Mother-Daughter Relationship Decoded.

360

:

It's for adult daughters and for mothers.

361

:

It'll be on Zoom, so it's virtual.

362

:

Thanks for listening to the

Mother-Daughter Relationship show.

363

:

You're doing great work.

364

:

It matters.

365

:

Take good care of yourself and

I will see you in the next one.

366

:

That's all for today's episode of the

Mother-Daughter Relationship Show.

367

:

Thanks so much for

spending this time with me.

368

:

I hope you picked up some valuable

insights that you can start using right

369

:

away in your own relationship to create

deeper connection and understanding.

370

:

If something from today's

episode resonated with you,

371

:

don't keep it to yourself.

372

:

Share it with the mother or daughter in

your life who needs to hear this message.

373

:

And while you're at it, please

consider leaving a rating.

374

:

And review so we can reach more

families and transform the way mothers

375

:

and daughters relate to each other.

376

:

step, you can visit my website to

377

:

programs and my program designed

378

:

specifically for mother-daughter pairs.

challenges, life transitions, or

380

:

just wanna strengthen an already

good relationship, I'm here to help.

381

:

:
