Practically Awake
Welcome! I’m Jaclyn Proper, a Jungian Depth Coach, Educator, Explorer, Underworld Doula, Artist & human doing my best on Earth. This channel is about what it means to be an explorer of shadow and self. We dive into shadow work, eroticism, spiritual psychology, kink, neurodivergence, sexuality, travel, and authentic living through the lens of my personal journey and Jungian psychology. If you’re an unconventional soul, queer, kinky, neurospicy, or simply shadow-curious, you’ll find lighthearted yet no-nonsense conversations here to help you embrace your edges, and uncover the truth of who you are.
Practically Awake
How Your Father Shapes Your Identity, Success Patterns & Confidence
In this episode, we explore the father archetype and father complex—and how your relationship to this energy impacts your confidence, ambition, leadership, and sense of inner authority.
Whether you had an absent father, a tyrannical father, or a passive one, these early dynamics shape how you relate to power, responsibility, and success as an adult. We dive into the psychological and somatic roots of the father wound, what it means to build an inner father, and how shadow work can help you heal and reclaim your personal sovereignty.
I also share how conscious BDSM dynamics can become a powerful, reparative space to rewire your relationship to structure, protection, and empowered masculine energy.
✅ You’ll learn:
– What the father archetype actually represents (it’s not about gender)
– How a wounded or absent father impacts your adult identity
– The difference between tyrannical, absent, and collapsed father energy
– How to rebuild your inner father through shadow work & nervous system healing
– Why queer and nontraditional parenting still operate within these archetypes
– How BDSM and D/s dynamics can be used to consciously reparent and rewire your psyche
🌀 Whether you're exploring masculine energy, reparenting yourself, or deepening your shadow work practice—this episode gives you a powerful map.
