On Father’s Day - How is that relationship with Dad?
Drs. Janae and Barry Weinhold - Pioneers in the Conscious Evolution of how we can Return to Love…
Have you ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns relationship after relationship?
Are you tired of being frustrated with your partner and ready to look at what is REALLY going on?
Well, I know women are dealing with these kinds of issues (because I do too!) and I wanted some serious insight into how we can have more fun, love and intimacy for ourselves and in our lives - especially our intimate relationships.
Recently, I interviewed Janae Weinhold, Ph.D about her fascinating book (she wrote with her husband Dr. Barry Weinhold), Flight from Intimacy. Ladies, if there is one book you read this year on your journey to self-empowerment, have this be it.
This book is an in-depth, comprehensive guide to becoming aware of the unconscious behaviors you may be exhibiting in your life (and with your intimate partner - agghh!) that serve to destroy intimacy, keep you safe, confused and struggling.
The questionnaires and charts in this book alone, will open you up to a whole new world of awareness that when you look at it, you might not believe that behaviors you thought were “normal” are really behaviors that were learned at a very young age to survive and really no longer serve.
You will awaken to that fact that if we did not go through the natural processes of bonding and separation before, during and after birth properly, we are most likely trying to get these needs met unconsciously as adults. Herein lies many of the answers to the questions that might plague us in our intimate relationships!
So in honor of Father’s Day, I am writing about awareness of what our relationships with our fathers are and were like and how we can heal from them, if they were not healthy. For me, my relationship with my father was not very healthy until I took it upon myself to heal old wounds with him when I was in my 20’s. He did the Landmark Forum which altered his life and his approach to how he related to me and the rest of the family. Although he is no longer alive, I am so glad I got the opportunity to heal rifts with him before he passed on.
In reading Flight from Intimacy, I got to really look at unconscious behaviors I have assumed as an adult that directly related to not getting what I needed as a infant from my parents. This is not an excuse to now resent or disparage my parents, but rather a way to have compassion that they were doing the best they could at the time and now it is time for me to give Myself what I need to be whole.
I am happy that I can look back on my years with my father and focus on the one’s where we shared, loved and supported one another even though the childhood years were very different. If you have strife with your father or the men in your life, it is time to forgive and heal. In unity with millions of other women, we must take the lead to heal our wounds and thus promote peace on the planet. Peace, of course, comes from within, and this interview will give you a big leg-up in how to take the first steps.
Please tune in to this deeply mind expanding interview! Enjoy!
