What if the man you’re chasing isn’t your type… he’s your father, unfinished?
In this episode I share a powerful somatic practice rooted in family constellations that helps disentangle the father wound from adult intimacy. If you’ve struggled with codependent relationships, anxious-avoidant dynamics, or an almost magnetic pull toward emotionally unavailable men, this episode is for you.
Most importantly, I introduce a way to mature the internal father, integrating both shadow and strength, so your nervous system no longer confuses longing with love. This is about reclaiming agency, restoring emotional safety, and relating from adult self-possession rather than unconscious repair.
If you’re ready to stop reenacting the past and start choosing from clarity, this episode opens a new door.
You’ll Learn:
[
01:08] Why attraction to unavailable men can feel obsessive, and how Eros pulls you toward unresolved wounds
[
02:14] How romantic partners become stand-ins for the father, and why projection creates suffering
[
03:05] How the father wound shows up as embodied unsafety rather than a story or diagnosis
[
03:52] What it means to create safety by maturing the internal father instead of fixing men
[
05:04] How a simple family constellations practice works through the body as truth
[
07:02] What you notice when you place father and partner side by side, and why discomfort matters
[
09:03] Why saying “you are not my father” releases trapped relational energy
[
11:02] How separating father from partner opens the possibility of adult, sovereign love
