The Father Wound: A PsychoSpiritual Healing Guide | TCM #137 (Part 1)

In the previous podcast, we explored the Mother wound. If you haven't checked that one out yet, listen to it HERE. In this episode, we look into the father wound and how it shows up in both women and men. We discuss the main signs that you have a father wound from a psychological and spiritual perspective, how it can affect virtually all aspects of your life, and how to heal it psycho-spiritually. We'll discuss what we needed from our father and how the lack of a healthy male role model can show up in our lives. We'll give you practical tools and self-reflective questions. In the second hour, we'll explore the key masculine archetypes essential for a man to achieve psychological wholeness and how the masculine wound manifests in our current culture and society. We'll discuss how the father complex affects our behavior toward authority figures and our relationships with God. We'll also give you practical tips on how to do shadow work with your father wound. Furthermore, we explore Carl Jung's concept of animus, the male part of the female psyche, and how it manifests in women when they become animus-possessed. We'll look into the four stages of animus, the internal male image that women project on men, and how it relates to the men they attract and are attracted to. Lastly, we give helpful tools on how women can integrate their animus consciously to become whole.
