How to Heal Your Father Wound

How’s your relationship with your father?

 

I’m grateful that my dad has supported me through it all - as an ad exec in NYC, while driving around the world and as a medicine woman in Taos, NM. We took this photo together when he visited a few weeks ago. ❤️

If your Father is grounded and clear about his own direction, he has a vibration of safety. You understand that the world is safe and that you can explore and create things of value.

But no one is perfect, and most of us carry a Father Wound. This can look like…

  • You feel unsafe to truly be yourself.

  • You hide your vulnerability.

  • You have low self-worth & don’t maintain clear boundaries.

  • You hesitate to pursue your goals.

Healing from the Father Wound is always a possibility. Try to see your father through the eyes of compassion - as a person who had unprocessed wounds that he was acting out unconsciously. That’s the way to release patterns of blame, judgment and feeling victimized.

It can be a deep healing journey to arrive at an acknowledgment that on a soul level, you chose your father. This makes him the perfect one for you - just as he was or is.  (If the relationship with him was very difficult, it may help to keep in mind that the struggles in life give you strength.)

When you heal your Father Wound, you heal your Inner Masculine.

  • You build trust in the world.

  • You’re decisive.

  • You have clear boundaries.

  • You move toward your goals.

  • You transform the image you’ve created of male energy and men in general.

This not only supports you to share your feminine radiance in the world. It also creates more balance for past and future generations of your lineage.

We’ll be weaving Family & Ancestral Healing into our September Women’s Plant Medicine Retreat so that you release generational trauma, reclaim ancestral gifts and use your womb’s life-force energy for your creations.

Individual online Family Constellations sessions are also available to support you in healing your Father or Mother Wound, release family and ancestral baggage and getting to the root cause of unwanted patterns, behaviors and issues.
