Hey ,
"Last week I had one of those moments at work that reminded me why I hate speaking up...
I'd prepared for hours. I had brilliant ideas. But when it came time to speak up, I felt myself shrinking. My voice got smaller. I second-guessed every word. I watched less-qualified men dominate the conversation while I sat there, invisible."
Sound familiar? That was an eminently qualified client of mine. Her challenge?
The wound created by a missing, absent, or abusive father also makes you invisible at work. You disappear into the wood like in the same way that you had learned to disappear into silence at home.
The father wound doesn't just show up in your dating life. It shows up in:
- Board rooms where you don't speak up for your ideas
- Salary negotiations where you accept less than you're worth
- Team dynamics where you overwork to prove your value
- Leadership opportunities you don't even apply for
One client, let's call her Joan, told me: "I finally understood why I was passed over for promotion again. I was trying so hard to be 'likeable' and 'low maintenance' that I made myself forgettable. This journal helped me see the pattern and break it."
