Fatherhood's Ripple Effect: How Dads Shape Our Lives
It takes one definition of a traumatic event: is one that changes your core beliefs, which is a really interesting definition, because some things that change your core beliefs don't look traumatic in the traditional sense of the term.
What happens when the role of a father is either a guiding light or a missing piece in the puzzle of our lives? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Power of the Mind', Gregory Struve and Elicia Morigeau dive into the significant impact fatherhood has on our behavior, emotions, and relationships. They explore how fathers shape our worldviews and the challenges that arise when a father figure is absent.
Gregory and Elicia discuss the importance of context in forming our beliefs and how it influences our sense of safety and attachment styles. One fascinating insight Gregory shares is that traumatic events are not always what we imagine. He explains that trauma can be any event that alters our core beliefs, even those that seem ordinary.
For instance, growing up in an environment where no one is attuned to you can lead to an anxious attachment style, affecting your relationships for years to come. This episode offers valuable insights into how the mind works and how fatherhood, or the lack thereof, can shape our lives. Tune in to discover practical ways to improve your relationship with yourself and others.
