The Angry Therapist Podcast

The Lie We Tell Men About Strength


Listen Later

In this episode, licensed therapist John Kim unpacks the father wound - how it silently shapes our self-worth, relationships, and ideas of masculinity. Through raw personal stories and practical, street-level insights, he explores what it means to grow up with a “ghost father” and how both men and women can begin to heal.

You’ll learn:

  •  Why the father wound exists even if your dad was “there”
  • How it shows up differently for men and women
  • Why emotional absence can leave deeper scars than physical absence
  • How it becomes a blueprint for love, power, and identity
  • Practical ways to reparent yourself and break the cycle
  • Join the conversation! Do you think you have a father wound? How has it shown up in your relationships or self-image? Share your story with us.
