What if the way you receive compliments, ask for help, handle other people's moods, and look for validation has more to do with your childhood than you realized?
In this episode of The Love Your Life Show, I'm talking about the father wound and why you can have a loving, well-intentioned dad and still carry patterns from childhood into your adult relationships.
I was inspired to make this podcast by Terri Cole's work on the father wound and a conversation she had with Cathy Heller. In this episode I help you see how the father wound may be showing up for you in real life and give you 2 ways you can start healing it.
This isn't about asking whether you have a father wound or not (we all have traces of one) nor is this about making your dad a villain. Even the most well-intentioned, loving dad leaves some wounding behind. It's the nature of the human experience.
Bring your open mindset and your warrior notebook. This episode could really change some things for you!
Click play if you've ever:
- Struggled to accept compliments
- Feel uncomfortable receiving help
- Think you owe people when they do something for you
- Feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions
- Constanly crave external validation. Want someone else to say "good job you!"
- Have a hard time knowing what you want or need
- Feel like you're never good enough and there's always something else you need to do.
As I said, this is one of those foundational episodes of the Love Your Life Show. If you listen with an open mindset and actually start practising one (or both!) of the things I teach today, your life will change.
100 percent satisfaction guaranteed.
I can't wait for you to listen.
