All right, team, the time has come. We are going to dive into the father wound. What it is,

how it gets created, and how you can move through it. I'm Connor Beaton. This is the Man Talk

Show. Don't forget to man it forward. Like and subscribe. If you enjoy this content,

let's dive in. So recently I did a video called Healing the Mother Wound or dealing with your

mommy issues. If you haven't checked that out, you should definitely go dive into it.

If it feels like it might be something for you. But today we're going to be talking about

the father wound. And this is something that honestly, I could probably spend multiple episodes on days

worth of content, to be honest, you know, over the last decade of working with so many men.

A lot of men carry a very deep wound from their father, you know, not having a father

present, having a father who is abusive,

having a father who was there, but a father who was kind of complacent or weak-willed,

let mom run the show, et cetera. So I'm going to go into a couple of the very specific

archetypes that I've seen, the quote-unquote damage that they can cause

within the personality, and how to actually work with those wounds, how to actually move

through them. So let's dive straight in. Like I said, this is something that so many men carry.

And what it is is essentially the pain of not being loved for or cared for in the way that you needed from your

father. Maybe he was absent. Maybe he was angry. Maybe he was spineless. Maybe he was a tyrant or he was a

complete ghost and you just actually never really knew him. So he was vacant. Either way,

it's the pain that you carry as a man for having been a

boy who needed something different from his father. Maybe you didn't get certain guidance. Maybe you

didn't have a role model to look up to or a direction that you could move towards as a man. Maybe he was completely absent in being able to

teach you anything of substance about what it means to be a man. Maybe he was just a terrible man.
