Episode description

Talking points: grief, fatherhood, anger, masculinity

The void left by a father who’s gone can feel impossibly difficult to handle for many men. I’ve had a lot of them in my practice, and the impacts on their life can be pretty severe. If you or someone you know grew up without a father, strongly encourage you to listen to this one. These are the lessons you might have missed.

(00:00:00) - Intro and the first thing: grieve the absence. 

(00:05:33) - Understand the true role of a father, and take it upon yourself

(00:08:28) - Every son has the right to be angry with their father

(00:12:37) - A woman can never hold the key to your masculinity

(00:14:24) - The last thing: it’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility
