The biggest issue out of everything is: it deflects all the blame away from toxic and abusive men and it places the harm that they have their actions and their behavior has caused to harm this other, their daughter, this woman.
Cordelia dives into a phrase that's been tossed around far too casually: 'daddy issues'. In this episode of 'We Heal Together', she unpacks why this term is not just a harmless label but a deeply sexist and damaging trope. You'll hear about its origins and how it has been used to shame and silence women who are dealing with emotional wounds from their fathers or other male figures.
Cordelia discusses how the phrase shifts blame away from toxic or abusive men, making women feel their feelings aren't valid and perpetuating harmful stereotypes. By examining the impact of this phrase, she calls for a shift in our language to foster a more supportive and inclusive environment for healing. Tune in to join the conversation and help erase 'daddy issues' from our collective vocabulary.
