“The absent father effect is a love story but an unrequited one.”

The father is an essential aspect of the psyche and significant for the daughter's psychological and physical life, personally and culturally.

The ignorance of the absent father effect has serious ramifications. As a daughter does not appear in his vision, she receives no reflection from him. A daughter is left wondering about her value and if she is worthy of love to herself and others. She retains a hole in her heart. Father's absence leads to the question, how a father dreams of his daughter. What does he wish for her?

In this presentation, we'll explore ways to repair the missing pieces and fill the father's absence with presence for well-being.

Who Is It For

Daughters wounded by fathers absent physically, emotionally, or being abusive
Fathers trying to become aware of their harmful effects on their daughters
Professional and general audience desiring to learn more about the topic and how to heal it
