The Father Wound You Didn’t Know You Had
On today’s episode, Dr. Shefali explores father wounds with licensed psychotherapist, relationship expert, author and podcast host Terri Cole.Terri explains how many women, especially high-achieving women, may be carrying a father wound without even realizing it. That wound can come from a father who was absent, abusive, emotionally unavailable or simply unable to give the connection and support a child needed.She shares that a father wound does not always come from something dramatic. In her own life, it was less about a major event and more about emotional neglect and what was missing.Terri and Dr. Shefali break down how these wounds can show up later in relationships, self-worth, boundaries and the way we move through the world. Most importantly, they offer insight into how to recognize the wound, heal from it and move forward with greater awareness and freedom.If you would like to be a guest on this podcast and receive parenting advice from Dr. Shefali, please go to www.drshefali.com/podcast.

Are We Doing Too Much for Our Kids?
On today’s episode, we dig deep into overparenting with Dr. Sigi Cohen, a renowned child development specialist and parenting expert.Dr. Sigi explains how, with the best intentions, parents may actually be holding their kids back by doing too much for them. We overtalk, overlecture, overprotect, overaccommodate and overdo almost everything, which can lead to helplessness, weaker coping skills, fragility and increased anxiety. It’s an important conversation about when helping our kids becomes too much help, and how we can give them the space and confidence to handle more on their own.As parents, it can be difficult to know when to step in and help—and when to step back. Should I bring my child’s forgotten homework to school? Should I get involved when they’re having issues with a friend? This week I’m turning to Yahoo Scout to identify common issues and get a perspective from reliable sources as we explore how to support our kids while helping them build independence.Try Yahoo Scout. #YahooPartner #YahooScout #ad Hosted on Acast.
