Your female clients come to you for help with anxiety. Or burnout. Or another relationship that's crumbling.
So, you treat what's in front of you, and the symptoms may ease — for a while. But you can tell there's more to uncover.
Here's what often gets missed: underneath all the symptoms is a wound that tells her she's unworthy…and she needs to be different, better, and more accomplished to deserve love and consideration. And that unhealed wound often follows her throughout her life and into her relationships.
That's the reality of the Father Wound. After nearly three decades in clinical practice, renowned expert and bestselling author Terri Cole has seen how deeply it affects a woman's sense of self.
Now in this free, three-hour interactive workshop, you'll get a clinically grounded approach for spotting father wounds — even in clients who don't “look wounded” — and treating them as what they are: ongoing relational trauma that reshapes the nervous system, attachment style, and self-worth.
You'll learn how to help clients:
- Recognize father wounds in their many forms
- Address the impact that goes beyond romance — into work, money, motherhood, friendship, and the self-relationship
- Grieve what was missing without getting stuck in blame, rumination, or fixation on the father
- Identify the adaptive responses that keep your client stuck — including people-pleasing, over-functioning, hyper-independence, avoidance, and emotional shutdown
- Build boundaries, self-trust, and self-consideration as the foundation of healing
- Reclaim joy, pleasure, and sovereignty as part of the healing arc, not the reward at the end
When you can help clients heal from father wounds, their relationships will shift — and real freedom can finally begin.
