75. Healing The Father Wound With Forgiveness Coach Rachel Isabella

If you, or someone you know, has issues with feeling abandoned, rejected or in some way emotionally wounded or estranged from one of your parents, or if you are a single parent and your child does not have a healthy relationship with his/her other parent, this episode is for you. My guest today is Rachel Isabella who is a forgiveness coach specializing in helping "fatherless daughters". As a fatherless daughter herself, Rachel now helps other fatherless daughters heal their heart wounds, forgive, let go and create wonderful lives out of their pain rather than making poor decisions and life choices because of it. She believes forgiveness is fundamental in order to live a healthy, happy, peaceful life (and I agree!). Rachel defines "fatherless daughters" as someone who's: 1. Father physically abandoned them 2. Father was physically absent 3. Father was emotionally absent 4. Father died 5. Mother does not know who the father was We learn that there is a specific and deep emotional wound of unworthiness in fatherless daughters that can manifest in many ways including promiscuity, neediness, emotional shut down/unavailability, lack of intimacy, relationship issues, abandonment/attachment issues, addictions and more. Most importantly, we talk about how to heal and move on to reclaim your life with a practical discussion on boundary setting, 6 reasons you should forgive and advice for single mom's on how you can fill in the holes left from an absent male figure in your child's life. Enjoy and please share with someone you love if you think will help them!:) Timestamps:  01:01 Forgiveness Coaching For Fatherless Daughters 04:44 Healing The Wound Of Parental Rejection 05:54 Distinguishing The Wound From Victimhood 08:49 Your Perceptions Is Your Reality 10:50 Can We Forgive Our Fathers? 14:24 Obstacles To Forgiveness 18:03 Rachel’s Personal Healing Process 20:24 Do We Need Spiritual Connection To Heal Emotional Wounds? 25:42 Tips On Setting Boundaries 32:16 Raising Fatherless Children As Fatherless Adults 38:32 Rachel’s 6 Main Reasons To Forgive 41:28 Final Words Of Wisdom 43:07 How To Find Rachel OTHER EPISODES OF INTEREST: 72. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/72-connecting-at-the-heart-level-fostering-better/id1536211327?i=1000544204541 74. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/74-befriending-your-body-dealing-with-and-healing/id1536211327?i=1000545632839 Contact Amy Fournier: WEBSITE: http://amyfournier.com/ EMAIL: [email protected] INSTAGRAM: @FitAmyTV YOUTUBE: Awakening Aphrodite Podcast/FitAmyTV FACEBOOK: Amy Fournier TWITTER: Tweetwithamy TIKTOK: @awakeningaphrodite PODCAST: Awakening Aphrodite (available on all podcast outlets like iTunes and Spotify)
