UNPACKING ME: The Part of Trauma No One Talks About — Breaking the Cycle of Abuse This Father's Day
This Father's Day season, we're going deeper than greeting cards and barbecues.
On this episode of Unpacking Me, we're having the conversation most people are afraid to have — what does it actually take for a father to look at his own pain, his own upbringing, and choose to do things differently?
Breaking the cycle of generational abuse and trauma isn't just a decision. It's a daily, deliberate, and deeply courageous act. It means confronting what was done to you, taking ownership of your healing, and refusing to pass the pain down to your children — even when no one ever showed you how.
In this episode, we explore:
- 🔹 What breaking the cycle of abuse actually looks like in real life
- 🔹 Why so many fathers repeat patterns they swore they never would
- 🔹 The emotional work required to show up differently than your own father did
- 🔹 What it means to choose your children over your trauma responses
- 🔹 The part of fatherhood and healing that nobody talks about
Whether you grew up with an absent father, an abusive father, or one who simply didn't know how to show up — this episode is for you. And if you are a father walking the road of healing and trying to rewrite the story for your family, this one is especially for you.
