Millions of women have a father wound
and don't know it has a name.

You may have had a father who was absent.

Or critical. Unavailable. Unpredictable. Controlling.

Maybe he loved you deeply but still couldn't give you what you needed.

And perhaps there are things you learned to live without so long ago that you stopped thinking of them as losses at all.

We can grieve more than death.

We can grieve the relationship we wished we'd had.
The protection we needed.
The approval we kept trying to earn.
The words we never heard.
The father who was there…
…and the father who wasn't.

Some of the questions they cover includes:

01
What is a father wound? How would someone know if they have one?
02
Does a woman need to involve her father to heal your father wound.
03
What are the most common signs of an unhealed father wound?
04
How does the father wound show up in our adult relationships and what can we do?
05
Why is learning to regulate your emotions such a big part of healing a father wound?
06
How do we stop over-functioning, create better boundaries, and heal the father wound?
And much more.
We invite you to watch.
