The Father Wound: The Hidden Force Shaping Your Life
Are you a man constantly striving to meet impossible expectations?
Do you struggle with intimacy or expressing emotions?
Are you hiding your true thoughts and feelings from others?
You might be carrying a father wound.
What is a Father Wound?
A father wound is the emotional and psychological impact of an absent, distant, abusive or emotionally unavailable father. The son unconsciously carries his father’s projections, pain and darkness, in a bid to either protect, gain approval or stay connected to his father. Heavily influencing the type of man he becomes.
A boy's relationship with his father is pivotal in his journey to manhood. Our fathers teach us how to navigate life, deal with challenges, and connect with other men. This bond shapes our very essence as men.
When a son experiences a healthy, active bond with his father, the benefits are profound. However, when a father is absent, distant, abusive, or emotionally unavailable, the impact can be deeply negative...
How It Shows Up in Our Lives?
Perfectionism & workaholism (Over-achieving)
Difficulty expressing emotions or being vulnerable
Fear of intimacy in relationships (Trust issues)
Constant need for validation or approval
Feeling like you’re never good enough
Struggling to be your true self
Unconsciously becoming like your father, even if his attributes don’t serve you
My Story
This wound has been my biggest life struggle, bringing me a lot of pain and self-loathing. Growing up with a physically present but emotionally distant and alcoholic father, this difficult dynamic led to relentless people pleasing, over achieving and approval seeking, to prove my self worth from others because I didn’t feel good enough at home.
The resulting pain, anxiety, and depression fuelled unhealthy addictions with alcohol and porn, dysfunctional behaviours, and sabotaged many relationships.
I reached a turning point when I decided to stop silently suffering and hurting others. Seeking self-worth and a healthy, loving relationship... I finally confronted my poor behaviours and suffering, tracing them back to unresolved pain in my relationship with my father.
I went to work on facing this father wound, which has been a LIFE CHANGING journey. Today, I've let go of blame, accepted him and taken responsibility for myself. This transformation has resulted in greater self-love, healthier self-talk, confidently sharing my work with the world and attracting the most beautiful woman and loving relationship I could ask for.
A man's pain can become his purpose. When we courageously face our unresolved father wounds, we break free from their control. We become the architects of our own reality, stepping into our true, sovereign selves.
