Unveiling the Unseen Effects of a Broken Father-Son Bond

What lurks beneath the surface of unresolved father-son relationships, often concealed from view? In this revealing episode of the Healing Son and Father Relationships podcast, Tyrone Wheeler explores the hidden symptoms that can silently pervade our lives when these vital connections go unhealed. With a focus on awareness, Tyrone helps us identify these symptoms, which can manifest emotionally, and behaviorally, and impact mental health. He discusses examples like dwindling self-esteem, struggles with intimacy, simmering resentment towards authority figures, and challenges in expressing vulnerability. He also sheds light on the profound link between unhealed relationships and mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and a heightened risk of suicide. Tyrone delves into behavioural manifestations, from substance abuse to impulse control issues, aggressive behaviour, and difficulties in maintaining stable employment and financial stability

BEST MOMENTS

"My favourite word is awareness. If we are not aware of those particular symptoms or symptoms, if we're not aware of them or know of them, it'll just be what is happening or what has happened will just carry on happening or that relationship will just carry on the way it is and things won't change."

"If you are a person that is suffering from a lack of self-esteem and self-confidence, and your relationship with your father or your father figure in your life is strained, it is maybe a bit under, you know, it's not the best, for instance, unhealed, broken, whatever you want to describe it as, you may want to look at that particular part of your relationship with your dad."

"An unhealed relationship with a dad could well be the cause of difficulty with intimacy and forming close relationships."

"Depression and anxiety are two things if we're not present in the here and now, as in this moment in time, we are either living in the past or the future."
