Deep dives
Understanding the Father Wound
The father wound refers to emotional scars stemming from a father's absence, neglect, or inability to connect, affecting individuals regardless of their father's actual behavior. Even children with seemingly great dads may feel they lacked emotional availability or presence, leading to a longing for connection that remains unfulfilled. This wound can manifest in adult relationships as trust issues, with individuals struggling to form secure attachments or choosing partners who replicate their unmet needs. The complexity of childhood experiences means that every individual's perception of their father's role can differ greatly, creating unique relational patterns that need to be acknowledged and explored.
