Podcasts about father wound

Most men carry a wound they rarely talk about—and it often begins with their relationship with their father. Whether your dad was absent, emotionally unavailable, overly critical, or simply unable to give you what you needed, that experience can quietly shape your identity, relationships, ambition, anger, and even the way you parent your own children. In this episode, Ryan shares his own story of growing up without a present father and explores how the "father wound" influences countless men long into adulthood. More importantly, he explains why understanding the wound isn't about making excuses—it's about taking responsibility, breaking generational cycles, and becoming the man your children need. If you've ever found yourself chasing approval, struggling to feel "enough," or determined not to repeat your father's mistakes, this conversation is for you.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 The Father Wound Most Men Never Discuss 02:36 Growing Up Without a Present Father 04:52 The Hidden Cost of Father Absence 06:40 What the Father Wound Really Is 08:54 How the Wound Shows Up in Adult Men 13:21 Understanding Isn't the Same as Blaming 14:45 Grieve It—Don't Bury It 15:52 Becoming Your Own Father 18:43 Stop Waiting for His Approval 21:02 Breaking the Generational Cycle 22:30 Forgiveness Is Not the Finish Line 24:41 Build Your Band of Brothers (Iron Council) 26:06 Final Thoughts   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

Healing the Father Wound and Restoring Healthy Masculine Essence: A Guided Hypnotic JourneyChristel Arcucci welcomes spiritual practitioners and healers to the Mystic Body Show and frames the episode as a body-based, hypnotic audio journey to help restore healthy masculine essence and heal the collective father wound through balancing masculine and feminine energies. She invites listeners to set intentions, relax through breath and visualization, and enter a protected nature sanctuary to meet inner archetypes, focusing on the inner child and inner masculine while the inner feminine holds space. The guided process includes soul-level witnessing of one's father or the “infinite father,” optional forgiveness, and receiving support for past pain. Listeners then connect with healthy masculine archetypes—wise king, warrior, magician, and lover—and envision integrating wise and wounded inner aspects.

In this deeply personal episode, Marley shares one of the biggest breakthroughs she has ever had around masculine energy, money, relationships, and healing childhood wounds. She explores how the unmet needs we carry from our relationship with a parent can unconsciously shape our experiences with love, money, and life itself. Through a powerful framework and real-life examples, Marley explains why we often seek externally what we believe we are missing internally, and how reconnecting to your own inner source can transform every area of your life.If you've ever felt abandoned, unchosen, unsupported, or like you're constantly chasing something outside yourself, this episode will give you a completely new perspective on healing, manifestation, and personal freedom. In This Episode We Cover:Why childhood experiences with your parents can shape your relationship with money and loveThe hidden wounds that attract repeating relationship patternsHow unmet needs create subconscious beliefs that influence your realityThe connection between masculine energy, money, and emotional safetyWhy external validation can never heal an internal woundThe difference between seeking from lack versus creating from wholenessHow to identify the phrase you always wished you heard from a parentWhy the universe mirrors your unhealed wounds back to youThe concept of becoming "whole" by healing the "holes" withinHow reconnecting to a higher power can shift feelings of abandonment and rejectionLearning to give yourself what you've been seeking from othersWhy your relationship with money often reflects your deepest emotional patternsHow to move from desperation and scarcity into overflow and abundanceThe power of becoming your own inner source of love, safety, and validation Key TakeawaysThe things we spend our lives seeking from money, relationships, and the world around us are often reflections of unmet needs from our past. When we learn to source those needs from within and reconnect to our own wholeness, we stop chasing and start attracting. True abundance begins when you realize that everything you've been looking for already exists inside of you.

Born and raised in the Philippines, Alma spent much of her life repeating patterns she couldn't fully understand, patterns shaped by childhood experiences, cultural conditioning, relationships, and subconscious beliefs formed early in life.For years, she searched for change through external circumstances, believing a new environment, relationship, or achievement might finally bring the freedom she was looking for. Yet the same emotional struggles and recurring patterns continued to surface.In this episode of Back At It, Alma shares her journey from growing up in the Philippines, to building a life abroad in Dubai and later Poland, and how those experiences ultimately led her toward deeper trauma-informed healing and Root Cause Therapy.Tune in on the latest episode of Back At It as Alma and David explore how childhood environments shape adult relationships, the hidden impact of subconscious beliefs, the patterns many Filipinos silently carry through generations, and what becomes possible when we begin addressing challenges at their roots rather than only managing the symptoms.Today, Alma is a trauma-informed coach and Root Cause Therapy practitioner who helps people uncover the subconscious beliefs, emotional conditioning, and survival patterns shaping how they show up in life, from self-abandonment and people-pleasing to emotional suppression and difficulty trusting themselves, so they can break recurring patterns and create meaningful change in their relationships, decisions, and lives.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00): Intro(01:30): In-depth to her conditioning growing up in the Philippines(08:08): How childhood memories would lead to limiting beliefs played out in adulthood(16:31): Mother & Father Wound(22:44): Moving to Dubai and trying to seek validation(30:43): Moving to Poland and confronting her trauma(36:27): Discovery of Root Cause Therapy(47:37): The changes in her life as a result of root cause therapy: digging into the root of her emotions and behavior(56:09): First steps to apply root cause therapy into your own life(59:39): Her goal using root cause therapy as a means to help Filipinos break multi-generational behavior and be themselves(1:07:10): The habits to build to be proud of who you are(1:12:11): Where does Alma see herself in the next 5 years?(1:16:29): Not regretting learning root cause therapy later rather than sooner(1:18:58): The main lesson she wants her children to learn as they grow up(1:21:39): Closing Remarks

My dad passed away last Thursday. In this episode, I reflect on his life. Kierkegaard had a very complex relationship with his father also. No matter what our fathers did or did not say and do in this life, we have a Heavenly Father who loves us and made provision for us in Christ. My dad was reading the "Four Loves" by C.S. Lewis which I did not know until my brother and I cleaned out his room at the Assisted Living facility on Monday. That has given me great encouragement that my dad was seeking and finding before he passed from this world. This episode is dedicated to George Bierker, 1935 to 2026.

I break down what people really mean when they talk about “daddy issues” and the deeper father wound that often goes unspoken. I explore how a woman's relationship with her father can shape the way she experiences love, trust, and validation in adulthood. We look at the patterns that emerge - not from blame, but from understanding - and how these dynamics show up in relationships. Most importantly, I talk about what it takes to recognize and break these cycles so they don't keep repeating.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - The “Daddy Issues” Conversation Begins00:45 - Why This Isn't About Blaming Fathers01:20 - Absence, Inconsistency & Emotional Distance02:05 - How Love Gets Wired Through Instability03:10 - Chasing Validation in Relationships04:05 - Not Evil, But Conditioned07:25 - Seeing Love Through the Lens of Betrayal11:40 - Pushing Away What You Actually Need16:10 - How the Father Wound Shapes Identity21:30 - Repeating the Same Relationship Patterns27:05 - Awareness as the Turning Point31:10 - What Isn't Healed Will Repeat***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

Welcome to another collaboration between myself and myself and my old ally 'from across the pond', John Fontaine. This conversation takes us through the world of literature—our own personal experiences with it, the books and stories that have influenced us, and the creative process we now use to produce our own literature (non-fincion for myself, fiction, poetry and biography for John). We talk about known literature works such as: Stephen King's IT, The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories, the Bible... We mention authors like J.D.Salinger, Gerald Durrell, Tolkien, Shakespeare and many more. And of course, our own works—especially John's latest spy-novel Turn the Page and my own Father-Wound and the Blueprint for Masculinity. We also reflect on the writing process, its many twists and turns, and what it takes to produce a finished book as an independent author. If you enjoy literature of any kind, this podcast episode has something to offer you! You can watch the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9fGU_JRb7M

In today's episode of Brave Talkshow, we dive into a powerful and often unspoken subject: the father wound and the father role. Was your father physically present? Emotionally present? Both… or neither? For many women, the presence—or absence—of a father shapes how we see ourselves, how we trust, how we love, and how we move through the world. In this conversation, we explore how our relationships with our fathers influence our confidence, identity, boundaries, and the stories we carry into adulthood. This is a brave, honest conversation about healing, awareness, and reclaiming our power as women. Because nothing is off the table here.

A dad is foundational in every person's life, but not everyone has a solid, stable father figure to rely on. When Mark and I work with couples and individuals in our coaching sessions, we are often able to trace a person's current challenges back to father wounds. So many people are still being negatively affected by the difficult relationship they had with their father growing up—many of them without even realizing it.As we help these people unpack the past, we can't undo their experiences. But we can point to our Heavenly Father and remind them that there is incredible healing to be found in the unfailing, unconditional love that only God can provide.My guest today sees the effect of father wounds in her everyday ministry work. Rachelle Starr is the founder of Scarlet Hope and Freedom Signa, a ministry that reaches and disciples exploited women. She's the author of the book Outrageous Obedience, and is passionate about reaching women with hope wherever they are.In this episode, you'll hear:How God used a home-cooked meal to start an entire ministryWhy it's so important to understand that true healing takes time and patienceHow the love of the Heavenly Father can heal wounds we receive from our earthly fatherAnd more!I appreciated Rachelle's story of how God led her to show up in the lives of these precious women, and the healing that has come to so many as a result.Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: https://jillsavage.org/rachelle-starr-289/Check out our other resources: Mark and Jill's Marriage Story Marriage Coaching Marriage 2.0 Intensives Speaking Schedule Book Mark and Jill to Speak Online Courses Books Marriage Resources: Infidelity Recovery For Happy Marriages For Hurting Marriages For Marriages Where You're the Only One Wanting to Get Help Mom Resources: New/Preschool Moms Moms with Gradeschoolers Moms with Teens and Tweens Moms with Kids Who Are Launching Empty Nest...

In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof welcome author, speaker, and embodiment coach Preston Smiles for a powerful conversation on the Father Wound — and how paternal presence or absence shapes the nervous system. Together, they explore how a father's regulation, emotional availability, and play patterns influence brain development, stress physiology, attachment, intimacy, and leadership. Drawing from both lived experience and developmental research, this episode examines the real impact of masculine containment — not through blame, but through understanding. From childhood patterning to adult relationships, parenting, and community repair, this conversation offers grounded insight, somatic depth, and a hopeful path toward nervous system healing. Timestamps: 00:00 –  Intro/The Good Boy Pattern 08:00 – The Father Wound 17:30 – Play and Masculine Energy 33:30 – Shame and Reclaiming the Masculine 52:30 – Capacity and Embodied Partnership Key Takeaways: The fatherwound isn't just emotional, it's neurological and somatic, shaping how we regulate stress, relate, and play. Healthy masculine presence supports brain development through movement, physical play, safety, and co-regulation. Many relational patterns come from what was never modeled, not from personal failure. Healing happens through embodied experience, safe relationships, and repeated nervous system repair, not just insight.

The father wound doesn't just affect your childhood—it impacts every relationship you have, from romantic partners to money, friends, and even your relationship with yourself. In this episode I share my personal journey of healing from a toxic father and breaking the cycle of dysfunctional relationships. I show you exactly how I rewrote my relational blueprint, raised my standards, and ultimately met my husband.  You'll learn: How to identify your non-negotiables and must-haves How to remove unhealthy relationships from your life How to embody emotionally available love for yourself How to attract the love you deserve, without chasing or settling 

Ever felt like you're doing everything and still being told you're “lucky”? Let's name what culture keeps invisible: the mother and father wounds that train women to carry the emotional and mental load while men are praised for “helping.” Digging into how these patterns form, why your nervous system might read imbalance as normal, and what it takes to build fair, loving homes without martyrdom.I share how “we never argue” can hide suppression, why repair beats perfection, and how trained tolerance stealthily shapes who we choose and how we relate. We talk about weaponised incompetence, the praise economy that centres men for basics, and the subtle scripts that teach children Dad rests and Mum compensates. Then we move to solutions: shifting from “just tell me what to do” to proactive noticing, running weekly logistics councils, auditing the mental load, and raising kids who see and act. This is trauma-aware work, with space for nuance if anger once meant danger; we practise boundaries, co-regulation, and small wins that compound.You'll hear a reframe on healthy feminine and masculine energies as capacities we all hold—attunement and structure, receptivity and initiation—used not to excuse imbalance but to create presence, accountability, and ease. Awakening can be messy and grief-filled, yet it opens room for better agreements and genuine reciprocity. If you're ready to stop tolerating what drains you and start building a household where contribution is shared and seen, this conversation is your map. If it resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review.More from me at KirstyDee.comText the show. Ask a question

In this episode of Let's Get Vulnerable, we continue our 3-part series The Parent Wound & Your Attachment Style by exploring how the father wound shapes the way you experience love, intimacy, and self-worth. I'm breaking down how emotional absence, inconsistency, criticism, or unpredictability from a father figure wires your nervous system and becomes the blueprint for the partners you choose, the dynamics you repeat, and what feels “normal” in love. If you've ever found yourself overgiving, avoiding closeness, or feeling unsafe with emotionally available partners, this episode will help you understand why and what actually heals it.Inside the episode:What the father wound is and why it shapes love so deeply, including how approval, protection, and being chosen become core attachment needsHow the father wound shows up in anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment, influencing who you're attracted to and why certain relationships feel familiarWhat it takes to heal the father wound, from grieving what you didn't receive to updating your relationship model and learning to choose emotionally available partnersThis work is about understanding your patterns without shame, reconnecting to your sense of worth, and rewiring what love feels like in your body. You are not broken—your nervous system learned what it needed to survive, and it can learn something new.✨ VIP 1:1 Coaching with Dr. Morgan ✨If this episode resonates and you're ready to stop repeating painful relationship patterns, I do offer a very limited number of VIP one-on-one coaching spots where we go deep into healing attachment wounds and building secure, emotionally healthy relationships. This is for you if you're serious about doing the work at the root level and creating lasting change.

Why do the same relationship struggles keep showing up — passivity, fear of speaking up, emotional shutdown, or attraction to unavailable partners? In this episode, David breaks down how the father wound quietly shapes a man's confidence, emotional capacity, and behavior in relationships. From absent or critical fathers to passive or volatile ones, each imprint leaves a lasting mark on how men lead, love, and handle conflict. You'll learn how unmet needs from childhood create patterns like people-pleasing, fear of criticism, emotional avoidance, and difficulty committing — and why healing this wound isn't about blaming your father, but about reclaiming your inner authority. This episode offers a grounded framework for understanding your patterns, separating the human father from the wound, and beginning the process of fathering yourself with strength, clarity, and compassion.   Key Topics: ⭐ Why Men Keep Repeating the Same Relationship Patterns ⭐ The Father As a Man's First Blueprint ⭐ Understanding the Father Wound and Where It Comes From ⭐ The Ghost Father and the Pain of Emotional Absence ⭐ The Critical Father and the Birth of the Inner Critic ⭐ The Passive Father and the Loss of Direction ⭐ The Dominant Father and a Man's Relationship With Fear and Anger ⭐ "I'm Not Good Enough": The Core Belief Shaping Men's Lives ⭐ Emotional Shutdown and the Struggle to Express Feelings ⭐ How Father Wounds Quietly Sabotage Relationships ⭐ Why Men Seek Validation in Romantic Partners ⭐ Healing the Father Wound by Learning to Father Yourself   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe   

2025 didn't break you — it refined you. And 2026 isn't asking you to become someone new. It's asking you to come home. In this episode, we explore why the “new year, new you” mindset often leads to burnout and self-sabotage — and why real change doesn't come from urgency, hustle, or fixing yourself. We talk about: Why your body and nervous system respond to safety, not pressure How integration matters more than intensity right now Why so many New Year goals fail — and what actually supports lasting change The difference between reinventing yourself and returning to who you've always been This is the heart behind The Nourished Woman Within — a space where nutrition, movement, energy, faith, and inner child healing come together instead of competing.  If you're in the in-between…no longer who you were, not quite who you're becoming…this episode is for you.

In the spirit of celebrating my first Christmas as a Christian, this week is the perfect time to share a delightful conversation I had with Chris Legg. As both a licensed professional counselor and the lead pastor of a church, Chris has a rare combination of expertise he describes as being "a bit of a unicorn." Chris is also the founding owner and clinical director of Alethia Family Counseling Center, which now operates six locations across Texas with thirty therapists on staff.We explore the intersection of faith and psychology, discussing how secular therapy approaches to self-esteem fall short without a spiritual foundation. Chris challenges the contemporary affirmation-based therapy model, arguing that true humility comes from an accurate understanding of who we are in light of who God says we are. We discuss the persistent human tendency toward self-deception, examining why building identity solely on ourselves is fundamentally delusional—and what happens when we recognize ourselves as treasure through God's eyes instead.Our conversation ventures into controversial territory, including the relationship between Christianity and psychedelics, where Chris explains his measured "five out of ten" stance. He shares clinical examples of clients whose severe addictions were transformed through professional psychedelic-assisted treatment, while also emphasizing the need for Christian voices to remain engaged in this conversation rather than retreating into reflexive rejection. We discuss the theology of the Father, father wounds, and how childhood experiences shape our intuition of God. We examine prayer through the lens of the persistent widow and the friend at midnight, exploring what it means to approach God boldly as his children rather than with practiced piety. Chris shares insights on marriage, sacrifice, and how his son co-authored their book "Sex and Marriage" after witnessing the congruence between his father's theology and his treatment of his mother. Finally, we touch on near-death experiences, spiritual integration, and the beautiful, ongoing process of faith deconstruction and reconstruction that characterizes a lifetime of spiritual growth.Pastor Chris Legg, LPCs, and his wife Ginger have been living out the parable of God's love for His people since 1993 and have been blessed with five great kids. He is the Lead Pastor at South Spring Baptist Church in Tyler, TX and is also the founding owner and clinical director of Alethia Family Counseling Center, which offers training, counseling, speaking and business consulting in several locations in Texas. He and his son, Mark, are the authors of the book Sex and Marriage, which is intended to restore to marriages the power God intended. He also writes on Substack and hosts the Reconstructed Faith podcast.Books Mentioned in This Episode:Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan ManningAbba's Child by Brennan ManningLion and Lamb by Brennan ManningImagine Heaven by John BurkeImagine the God of Heaven by John BurkeThe Great Divorce by C.S.

Whether your dad was a constant presence or a total mystery, that first relationship shaped how you see yourself today. He was your first blueprint for what love, protection, and worth should look like—and if that blueprint was broken, it's likely affecting how you show up in your relationships right now. In this episode, we're digging into: How "father wounds" impact your adult attachment style. The reality of being "physically present but emotionally absent." How to stop waiting for him to change and finally start living for yourself. You deserve to be free from the weight of his choices. Let's talk about how to start healing.  

In this powerful transmission, Yasmine Minnifield, founder of Womb of Peace, joins Kit Maloney for a profound exploration of the Father Wound and how healing our inner masculine is a path to feminine restoration. Yasmine shares how wounding to our inner masculine affects our sense of safety, openness to intimacy, and feeling worthy of provision and protection - often showing up as overfunctioning, burnout, or a hard, protective shell.  She maps the energetics of the wound onto the body through mineral imbalances, offering a tangible, multidimensional pathway to healing through herbal medicine, remineralization, and inner work.  Yasmine describes how Yoni Steaming supports every level of this process, from the physical release of old blood, tissue, and emotions to remineralization through the herbs in the steam. She invites us to use our steam practice to develop deeper intimacy with self and the ancestral line to create lasting mental and emotional repatterning. Healing the inner masculine allows the mature feminine to rise, the Queen, who knows how to live and lead in a deeply nourishing, empowered way.     Yasmine Minnifield blends functional mineral science and somatic healing to help women decode their body's messages, with hair mineral testing as the doorway into deep restoration.

This week on the Tequila & Champagne Podcast, we're pouring a strong one and diving deep into a topic that touches so many lives: Daddy Issues and the enduring impact of the absent father. Join us as we explore the complex and often painful reality of the father wound in both men and women.

We're going beyond the clichés to discuss how to recognize the unmet need, break destructive generational patterns, and ultimately find a path toward healing and wholeness. Tune in for Episode 99: The Unmet Need: Healing the Absent Father Wound.

When your parents divorce, you almost always miss out on the mentorship and guidance that parents are meant to give their children about life, relationships, and so much more.  Without that kind of guidance, you feel lost, alone, and stuck - unsure what to do about it all.But that's where a mentor can be incredibly helpful and even healing.In this episode, we dive into the power of mentorship: why it's essential if you grew up without one or both parents, how to find the right mentor, and how those relationships can heal what was broken.If you've ever wished someone older and wiser could show you the way, or wondered how to stop repeating your family's dysfunction, this episode is for you.Visit Brandon's websiteGet the Book or FREE chapters: It's Not Your FaultWatch the Documentary: KennyWatch the Trailer: Kenny (3:31 min)Listen to Episode #036: Healthy Relationships Are Impossible Without BoundariesListen to Episode #058: Forgiveness: The Secret to Healing and Freedom | Fr.

Many couples find themselves trapped in a painful cycle where a woman seeks the safety her father never provided, while the man tries desperately to prove his worth. No matter how hard he tries, it's never enough; she feels unmet and unseen; he feels inadequate and resentful. Both are exhausted and disconnected.Left unchecked, this dynamic leads to deepening resentment, emotional distance, and eventually relationship breakdown. But this episode offers a pause moment for both men and women, creating opportunities to break the cycle.Mentioned in this episode:Healing Your Relationship with the Masculine A 4-week immersive program for womenThe Cycle Breaker's Path A 2½-hour immersive workshop to heal your lineage, step into your calling, and reclaim your light.

“The most important thing you can do for either spiritual or conventional success is to heal the mother and father wound.”Today, I sit down with my client David Cutler to explore what it truly means to embody the work. David shares openly about his own journey of healing the core wounds that live beneath the surface of so many of our struggles, especially the mother and father wound. He explains how these unconscious patterns shape our self-worth, relationships, and even our ability to succeed in business, and why addressing them is the gateway to accessing our deepest power.We dive into how unresolved insecurity keeps us stuck in cycles of proving, striving, and seeking validation, and how everything begins to shift when we finally turn inward. David shares how internal healing creates inevitable transformation in our external reality, from the way we show up in relationships to the opportunities that flow into our lives.If you've been doing the “work” but still feel blocked, or you're craving a deeper integration of healing that moves beyond the surface, this episode will remind you that real power isn't about fixing yourself, it's about remembering who you are and living from that truth.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSEmbodying the work rather than just talking about itHealing the Mother and Father Wound Insecurity at the Root – How deeper layers of insecurity drive external struggles, and what changes when they're resolvedEmbodiment vs. Performance – The difference between “doing the work” and living the work authenticallyTransformation in Relationships – How internal shifts inevitably reshape external relationships and dynamicsReleasing the Need for Validation – Understanding how healing ends cycles of proving, striving, and approval-seekingAccessing Power Through Presence**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world. My 4-week Unblock Your Business immersion is coming up in October.

Kristina and Anna unpack the Hungry Shapeshifter archetype, mapped to Enneagram 7, the Father Wound (self-worth, identity, power), and the Throat Center in Human Design. They explore how attention, identity shapeshifting, and voice become coping strategies, how this arc differs from the Vain Controller (3) and Eternal Child (4), and how it transforms into the Fabricator (Hero) and ultimately The Present (Legend). Pop-culture touchstones include Everything Everywhere All at Once and I Heart Huckabees, plus a lively “Am I the A**hole?” case that spotlights performative empathy and attention-seeking.Quick guide to this arcVillain (Primary): Hungry ShapeshifterCore hunger is attention and specialness. Masters of adopting identities and stories to secure validation.Pinnacle Villain: The ThiefSteals attention, time, and identity, often unconsciously.Successful Antagonist: The PersecutorUses pressure, performance, and voice to dominate the narrative.Wounded Child: The DefensiveHighly reactive when the crafted identity is questioned.Covert Form: The EntertainerIrresistible at parties, self-deprecating, will “do anything” for a good story.Hero: The FabricatorStops using force, integrates formerly rejected identities, chooses non-violence and nuance.Legend: The PresentStillness and presence replace performance.
