| Father Wounds Can Impact us as Adults |
| Dealing with a Father Who Caused Us Pain Our fathers are imperfect. Their imperfections may have caused us pain or even trauma. Because we gain our sense of identity and safety from our fathers, their imperfections can result in us finding it difficult to trust others, a lack of self-confidence, and a low sense of self– father wounds. A father’s words are powerful and necessary. Their actions are even greater. The four phrases every child needed to hear from their father are:· I love you no matter what I’m proud of you You are safe You are enough Did you hear these words? If yes, and no, how did this impact your life? If you did not grow up hearing these words, make it a point to speak these over yourself. These words are powerful and can help you heal from father wounds.  |
