The Father Wound (or Daddy Issues): How to Heal from Absent Fathers and Emotionally Unavailable Fathers (& Fatherly Caregivers)
Listen now
Description
The Father wound consists of unresolved feelings, pain, and wounding caused by your relationship with your father or a fatherly caregiver. Informally known as “Daddy Issues”, people downplay its impact on mental health for sons and daughters. In this episode, I explore the father wound, identify the root causes and symptoms of the father wound, and how it can impact your adult relationships. My mission for this episode is to help you bring awareness to your relationship with your father or father figure and teach you how to start healing your wound so that you stop playing out unhealthy patterns in your current relationships. I also answer a question from a listener whose father was absent and a question from a listener healing from an emotionally distant father after a divorce.
