On today’s episode, Dr. Shefali explores father wounds with licensed psychotherapist, relationship expert, author and podcast host Terri Cole. Terri explains how many women, especially high-achieving women, may be carrying a father wound without even realizing it. That wound can come from a father who was absent, abusive, emotionally unavailable or simply unable to give the connection and support a child needed. She shares that a father wound does not always come from something dramatic. In her own life, it was less about a major event and more about emotional neglect and what was missing. Terri and Dr. Shefali break down how these wounds can show up later in relationships, self-worth, boundaries and the way we move through the world. Most importantly, they offer insight into how to recognize the wound, heal from it and move forward with greater awareness and freedom.
