You will never truly heal until you face this about your father: he may have hurt you, not because you were unworthy of loveâbut because he didnât know how to love himself. His absence, his anger, or emotional distance wasnât about youâit was a reflection of his own pain, fears, and limitations. You donât heal by pretending it didnât affect you. You heal by acknowledging the wound, grieving what you didnât receive, and freeing yourself from trying to earn what should have been freely given. Facing this truth is painfulâbut itâs the doorway to finally becoming whole.
Had a very manipulative father. Realize he was just a frightened child who needed to control others. Iâm now an adult in a very safe and secure place. I am grateful for this opportunity to heal.
Wow⌠this one really got me. đ Never thought about how much my relationship with my dadâor honestly, the lack of oneâstill shapes the way I see myself. That part about chasing approval or second-guessing your worth hit too close. I always thought I just had "self-doubt issues," but now Iâm realizing it might go way deeper than that. This video made me stop and really sit with some things Iâve been avoiding. I donât even know what healing looks like yet, but just hearing this message gave me a weird sense of clarity⌠like Iâm not crazy for feeling the way I do. If anyone else out there feels like they're always hustling for validation or waiting for permission to just be themselvesâyou're not alone. This really opened something up for me. đ¤
This hit deeper than I expected. The pain Iâve been avoiding wasnât just about him â it was about the part of me that still needed his approval. Thank you for putting it into words
This hit harder than I expected. I didnât realize how much of my adult struggles were rooted in things I never said or even admitted about my dad. Jung was right⌠the shadow doesn't go away just because you ignore it.
Vey true! Projecting my shadow on every man, boss or stranger was my lifetime struggle. I keep repeating the cycle of injustice rejection and pain for 44 years. With tendency to isolate. This man knowledge can save many lifeâs thank you for sharing
Until I watched this video, I hadn't realized how far I had come in reclaiming my life back from the "Father Wound". I have been doing so much inner work on this (for years). My father passed December 0f 2013. That's when I started my inner work. I continue it to this day. What he did to the 3 of us kids was unspeakable. I remember it starting when I was 2 and a half. I'm now 68 years old. Back then things like that weren't spoken of, they were kept secret. It lasted for way too many years.... I want to Thank You for the bringing Carl Jungs work to light. I so appreciate thisđ
Our relationship with our father shapes how we see authority, love, and even ourselves. This message needs to be heard by everyone.
This isnât just about healing from a personâitâs about confronting a presence that still lives inside us. That silent authority we internalized⌠the one that rewards perfection and punishes softness. Jung was rightâthe father complex runs deep. Thank you for giving voice to something so many of us feel but never had the words for. This is soul-level healing. đŻď¸đ¤
The father is often our first image of authority, protection⌠and disappointment. Healing begins when we name what was never said
âMy shadow father used to scream âYouâre not enough!â Now he whispers, âYou could try again tomorrow.â Character development, baby!â This transformation you describe â from fear to gentle authority â is everything I didnât know I needed. Subscribed with my inner childâs full approval.
Absolutely. This really resonates. Jung's insight here highlights the crucial process of integrating the 'father complex' within ourselves. It's about recognizing how our internal authority and sense of structure were formed, and then consciously choosing to 're-parent' ourselves in areas where our personal father figure might have been absent or wounded.
Some wounds arenât ours â theyâre inherited. Carl Jung was right: true healing begins when we stop avoiding the shadow of our father and start understanding it. Itâs not easy, but itâs the path to freedom. đđ§ đ
My father used to punish me for being me; so then I used to punish myself. Through self-awareness I learned how to stop doing this. It took a long time, but I got there. My self-worth used to be zero. Now I parent myself.
We thought we had already healed â set boundaries, learned to love ourselves â and yet, something still pulls us back⌠like a wound that has never been named. Facing the âinner fatherâ â not just the real one, but the figure of authority, expectations, and fear deeply rooted in our subconscious â is the true turning point in the journey of healing.
I really needed this. It brings so much clarity and understanding this father complex within me. đđť
Thank you for this video⤠"I lead myself Now" wow that is my new Mantra. Also deeply felt - when you stop waiting to be fathered by the world and start fathering your own life with wisdom, courage and care, you step into yourself. đ
Thank you đ This is very powerful! And often overlooked.
Thanks for the inner journey and the active imagination I had with my late father. My letter to you, daddy: Tears, grief, anger, dissapointment, wrath, sorrow, vulnerability, anger, shame, guilt, sadness, longing to love him, more tears, violence, distance, ignorance, distrust, FEAR, abandoned, flickering glimpses of gratitude and thankfulness, the monster melts away, I feel the wounded boy in him, his longing, his flight, his neediness. Now I am my father and I set you free. I honor who you were and I'm letting go of what I made you to be in my mind and heart. Im 62 years old and I'm finally growing up and owning my authority. â¤
