82 - Daddy Issues Pt. 2 - Hyper-independence & overachieving

Stream the episode here on Apple Podcasts and here on Spotify.

Ever find yourself saying “I don’t need a man” or “it’s easier if I do everything myself”? Maybe you hate relying on people, or maybe you feel uncomfortable asking for help. Maybe your career takes over your life in a cycle of never-ending overachieving, over succeeding and a need for more. Or maybe, just maybe, you are used to doing live yourself but there is something underneath it that wishes you could do it with someone else? 

In part 2 of our 3 part Daddy Issues episode, Louise sits down again with Stephanie Therapy to go deeper into the Father Wound. They discuss how the Father Wound can be deeply connected to strong, hyper independent women, but those who often silently crave intimacy.

The pair discuss: 

⠀ Hyper independence, overworking and overachieving as a coping mechanism

⠀ Relying on others  / relying on men 

⠀ The development of core beliefs in childhood

⠀ Why we date people like Mom or Dad (trauma reenactment)

And more.
