Understanding the Father Wound

Welcome to our online session on understanding the father wound. A father wound, much like a mother wound, stems from absenteeism, emotional neglect, abuse, or a lack of attunement from a parent or caregiver. However, the impacts of these wounds are distinct due to the differing cultural expectations we hold for mothers and fathers.

Recognizing a father wound is challenging because it often feels like the norm. The journey toward healing begins with acknowledging that your father's behavior was hurtful and that you deserved better. Symptoms of a father wound can include feelings of unworthiness, the constant need for approval, and a tendency to form relationships with emotionally unavailable men or exhibit overachieving behavior to prove your worth.

It's important to note that father wounds can also arise from a father's failure to protect you from other forms of abuse or neglect within the family. This wound can be inflicted by any parental figure who fails to provide love, presence, and support.

Join us as we explore the nuances of the father wound, its impact on both sons and daughters, and the steps you can take toward healing and reclaiming your self-worth.
