YORK, Pa., April 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Deborah L. Bernal M.D. brings forth a book that aims to counter the "superwoman syndrome" that some women are experiencing, especially in today's modern society. According to Bernal, "Self-Mothering: My Mothers' Council" (published by Balboa Press) is a self-help and self-improvement guidebook that explores how as adults, people need a council of mothers to help them develop as adults and heal from the wounds of childhood.

In the book, Bernal reveals her personal journey through the ebbs and flows, trials and tribulations, victories and defeats of her life while sharing the biographies of the people who have inspired her and those she considers her historical role models and personal mentors. Furthermore, she shows how their lessons have paved the way for her personal empowerment. She also shares how others can gather the counsel they need for self-healing, self-love and self-fulfillment from mothers in their own "Mothers' Council."

"The stress of multiple roles of women in modern Western society is devastating. Physical symptoms of stress include muscle tension, abdominal pain, muscle spasms or nervous tics, unexplained rashes, excessive sweating, difficulty sleeping, shortness of breath and waiting to exhale. It is too much; however, Superwomen still take care of everybody else before they take care of themselves," says Bernal.

Bernal wishes to remind readers that "through this process of self-mothering, we can choose who motivates us and whom we want to emulate creating our own council of mothers; that can guide us to our destiny," thus, reflecting the notion that "while it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a council to raise an adult."
