What if the woman who loved you also passed down wounds she never had the opportunity to heal?
Trauma From My Momma is a deeply personal journey through generational trauma, motherhood, faith, survival, forgiveness, and healing.
Courtney L. Ransom, LCSW, writes from two powerful perspectives: as a daughter who had to make sense of her own childhood experiences and as a psychotherapist who later gained the language to understand what her younger self could not.
This is not a book about blaming mothers.
It is about understanding them.
Through vulnerable stories from childhood, church, relationships, motherhood, loss, and adulthood, Courtney explores how trauma can travel quietly through generations-hidden inside family rules, silence, survival strategies, discipline, expectations, and even expressions of love.
She also examines a question many daughters eventually face: What happens when you realize that some of the things you are healing from were passed down by someone who was carrying wounds of her own?
Trauma From My Momma invites readers to look beyond blame and consider the stories behind the women who raised them-particularly Black mothers whose strength was often born out of necessity. It explores the difference between intention and impact and shows how patterns can be inherited without anyone deliberately choosing to pass them on.
But this is not only a story about what was inherited.
It is a story about what can end with us.
Courtney shares her journey of recognizing her own patterns, confronting the ways unresolved pain affected her relationships and parenting, apologizing where necessary, reconnecting with her mother before her death, and choosing healing so that her children would not have to recover from the same wounds.
Grounded in both psychological insight and Christian faith, Trauma From My Momma reminds readers that understanding your past does not require dishonoring the people who came before you. Forgiveness does not require pretending something did not hurt. And healing does not mean rewriting your story-it means finally understanding it well enough to write the next chapter differently.
For every woman who has ever loved her mother deeply while still trying to understand what hurt...
For every mother determined to give her children something different...
And for every little girl inside a grown woman who is finally ready to rest...
You can love your momma and still heal from what was passed down to you.
