Healing The Father Wound - Insight Timer Live

Both intimately and as a cultural force, the father wound deeply impacts our lives. It often manifests as a pervasive lack of self-worth, self-doubt, harmful behavior, and/or difficulty taking committed action towards our goals and dreams. Because we did not see healthy masculine ways modeled to us, we never formed the ability to contain, hold, and uplift ourselves from the inside. In this talk and guided practice from June 2025, Catherine guides us in sourcing our own confident, positive, healing masculine energy, regardless of our gender identity. As a bonus effect, we also find ourselves less triggered by our father figures, liberating them to be who they are. Includes gentle, trauma-informed somatic parts work meditations. Meditation music by Jamiel Conlon.

This track brought me to my knees as feelings swelled within me. This has helped me in my healing journey more than words can express. Thank you 💖🙏

I was searching for a meditation because I was feeling really stuck. At first in the general meditation options offered by other teachers, I tried meditations about being stuck but they didn’t resonate. What I was feeling was very deep inside of me. So, of course, I knew Catherine will have one!!! So I glanced at all your incredible meditations and having done most, if not all, of them I kept searching thinking nope…. what I am experiencing needs help to be revealed because it’s so deep inside of me. Then Bingo, the Father wound meditation appeared! And it revealed a lot! With Grateful tears running down my face I lovingly thank you. After so many decades of being unseen, that part of me finally knows she is safe and loved because we see and feel each other now.

Oh, so many tears. ❤️ Thank you for your offering, it's so beautiful and insightful, powerful. I feel really supported in my healing journey by your wisdom and authentic vulnerability. 🙏🏼 Now I'm sitting with the paradox of taking ownership and responsibility for my happiness and fulfillment and at the same time acknowledging the need for community and a commited relationship. Striking how the longing for a masculine partner to provide support & attention that I long for links to grief about what I missed from my dad apparently. Wondering to what extent this longing is healthy if there is this wound underneath it, if that makes sense... I suppose it's a combination of finding this support in myself ánd acknowledging I need others as a human being?

I am in awe of your understanding Catherine- incidentally my first name is Catherine.
I have done a lot of work on myself and wrote a book in 2011 when I was a counsellor.
At the age of 80 I am still learning! The exercise to imagine standing opposite your father was so powerful- he was complicated for me - he loved me very much but was untrustworthy at the same time. His father died when he was 12.
Sorry, I’ve gone on a bit - I just felt like I wanted to tell you your talk was inspirational.
Thank you.

Youre my favorite, in sync with what I was needing to hear and meditate with today! I am thankful creator has us here in this world at this time together. Thank You for healing and making space for yourself that made so much room for others too, including me.
