Don't suppress and cut yourself off from feeling. It will only make you even less prepared for when something finally gets in.
Ever wondered how an absent father might shape your life and relationships? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein dives into the deep waters of the father wound. This emotional scar, often left by an absent or emotionally unavailable father, can cast a long shadow over one's well-being and connections with others. Yitz breaks down how internalized anger towards a father figure can make someone emotionally distant in their relationships.
He emphasizes the need to face these buried emotions head-on rather than letting them fester. One standout point in this episode is the transformative power of forgiveness. Yitz highlights how forgiving an absent father can be a crucial step in healing and moving forward. This isn't just about letting go of the past; it's about preventing those old wounds from spilling into future relationships.
Yitz also warns against the dangers of suppressing emotions, noting that shutting down feelings only makes it harder to cope when they eventually surface. If you've ever struggled with feelings of abandonment or emotional unavailability, this episode offers a compassionate guide to understanding and healing. It's a call to embark on a healing journey, confront negative emotions, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
