When Fathers Wound - Training Video

Our relationship with our father can play a significant role in early development - and when that relationship causes pain, the impact on our sense of self can reach far into adult life.

Following on from When Mothers Wound, this over 2-hour instant-access online training explores what can happen when the relationship with our paternal parent is a source of pain, hurt or trauma.

We consider the significance of fathers in early development and explore how experiences within this key relationship can affect our sense of self and the way we relate to others.

The training looks at a range of difficult paternal experiences, including neglect, absence or loss of a father, shaming, domestic violence and abuse, offering understanding and ideas for working sensitively with these experiences in the counselling room.
