My father was 6’2, handsome, successful, and emotionally unavailable.

Growing up, my mother, my sisters, and I were all afraid of him.

I didn’t think either of these things was a “big deal” until I connected the dots in therapy and realized how much I was playing out my father wound in my romantic relationships.

Many of you say you think you have a father wound. By sharing my own story, I aim to illustrate a few of the different ways it can present and impact your life.
