Deep dives

Hyper-independence as a coping mechanism

Hyper-independence is a coping mechanism that can result from a father wound. It is a way to protect oneself from potential hurt and disappointment by not relying on others. People who are hyper-independent may struggle to ask for help, feel the need to do everything themselves, and have difficulty showing vulnerability. This coping mechanism is often rooted in a lack of trust and emotional support from the male caregiver in one's life. It can manifest as a fear of being a burden, a strong need for control, and a tendency to prioritize work and achievement over emotional connection.
