Well Hello, Iza,
Father's Day came and went.
Maybe it was sweeter than you expected. Maybe you kept your phone silenced and your boundaries intact (proud of you). Maybe you smiled through brunch and cried in the car after.
However it went, it all counts, and it's all information.
In my experience, the day after is when the real question shows up: how much longer do I want to carry this?
Here's what I know after almost thirty years as a psychotherapist, and a few more than that in therapy myself: time alone doesn't heal a father wound. Intentional healing does. And this is not a dress rehearsal. We're LIVE right now, people. This is it.
So here is everything, in one place.
On October 27, my new book comes out: Father Wound: Break Unhealthy Patterns to Reclaim Your Worth and Power.
It's the book I've been circling for years, and it carries the stories of women in this community alongside mine.
On October 24, three days before the book is even out, I'm hosting the Father Wound Virtual Retreat, live on Zoom, from 12 to 4 pm ET.
You don't need the book to come. Because of course, nobody will have it yet.
We'll be doing the healing in real time, together: guided meditation, reflection, sharing, and witnessing each other through it.
I have spent my career in rooms full of women doing this work, and I can tell you that when women gather, magic happens.
Your ticket, a $297 experience, is free when you preorder the book for about $30. Plus you'll be a founding member and get every other bonus I offer during the book launch.
Click here to preorder and claim your free ticket. It takes about two minutes.
(Why free? Because preorders decide how far a book travels in its first weeks, and I would rather spend that energy with you than on ads. You support the launch, I'll give you the afternoon. Fair trade.)
And here's what I want for you on the other side of this work, because I've watched it happen for women in more than 100 countries...
... More peaceful everyday interactions, because the hypervigilance can finally stand down.
... Boundaries that hold without a fight.
... Relationships you choose instead of repeat.
... And the ability to put your head on the pillow at night and honestly say, "I'm good."
One more thing, and then I'll let you go.
Whatever happened between you and your father was never about your worthiness, and it was never your fault.
But the healing is yours now.
Nobody else can do it for you, and that's good news, because nobody can take it from you, either.
You've got this. And I've got you, all the way to October.
As always, take care of you, Terri
