If she's truly a hippy then she would know that mutuality is really important here and that just because nudity is not shameful it doesn't mean her son has to be exposed to it - the important message being that you BOTH need to be comfortable in the situation.
Like with anything, if you said no and the other person continued it is not respecting you. Point out once again to your mother that if she wants to be naked she can do it only when she is alone at home, i.e. not in front of you, and that she is not respecting your freedom by invading your privacy.
If she doesn't like that, go see a counsellor like Evilcor said. She might be selectively using 'free spirit' ideology as an excuse for abusive behaviour. Or she might not understand the problem. Either way, you have the right to set boundaries for yourself.
Sorry Ingrid, I assumed you'd be a boy I could be wrong. I also don't want you to stress out. But at the same time I think you're at an age where learning to set safe boundaries is an important skill. Your mother needs to help with that, even if being grossed out by her nudity is just you being 'uptight' it's still your boundary.
Is it normal that my mom walks around the house naked?
