Bonus Episode: The Psychology of Father’s Day: Love, Loss & Everything Between

In this heartfelt 5-minute bonus episode (it's a smidge longer), Dr. Allison Sucamele explores the complex psychology of Father’s Day—what it honors, what it evokes, and what it often leaves unspoken.

Whether you’re celebrating a father figure who showed up with love and integrity, grieving a dad who’s no longer here, navigating estrangement, or reconciling complicated feelings, you’re not alone.

From reparenting practices to rewriting the narratives we inherited, this episode offers gentle psychological insight and journal prompts for anyone feeling tender around this day.

You’ll hear about:
💛 What Father’s Day reflects psychologically
💛 The nuances of father wounds and emotional absence
💛 How to begin healing, grieving, or reauthoring your story
💛 The powerful practice of reparenting yourself

Journal Prompts Included:
• What did I learn from my father or father figures, directly or indirectly?
• If my father’s story shaped the first draft of my life, what do I want the next chapter to say?

Dr. Allison Sucamele
