The Father Wound

Whine Down with Jana Kramer

Show Notes

Jana and Kristen have an eye-opening conversation with psychotherapist Terri Cole about the hidden impact of the "father wound" and how it shapes a woman's sense of self.

We unpack why recognizing a father wound is much more than "daddy issues" and is crucial for breaking unhealthy cycles, why women unconsciously choose emotionally unavailable partners, and how unhealed original injuries drive perfectionism, hyper-independence, and the constant need to prove our worth.

Plus, find out what fathers and stepdads can do to build true emotional security and self-esteem for their daughters. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
