@therapytothepoint: 4 signs of “daddy issues”. What people call daddy issues usually refers to patterns shaped by early experiences with male caregivers. I break down four signs that may reflect early difficulties with father figures, including approval-seeking, attraction patterns, and intense emotional reactions specifically to male criticism. #daddyissues #daddyissuestok #emotionallyunavailablemen #emotionallyunavailableparents #attachmentissues

A therapist referring to it as “daddy issues” is a bit odd.

TopL :

Why are you calling it “daddy issues” and not “trauma from being abused by their fathers”?

GABCLGR :

What does it say if i seek male disapproval

Elena :

These r the obvious ones. There’s the other kind where you’re extremely cautious and on edge w them so you hold them to incredibly high standards (the complete opposite of seeking their approval + attention) and the 1st sign of something u don’t like, alarms are going off that their dangerous. Lol.

Happily Here :

The strong reaction to male criticism is so real when you have a dad who used it to attack you. Now that I’m married, I’ve had to work on discerning between healthy criticism and harmful criticism, instead of always interpreting it as an attack.

My dad had ONE JOB

Tender Logic | Healing Stories :

Early patterns with caregivers shape so much more than we realize… It’s not about blaming the past, just understanding why certain dynamics feel familiar in adulthood.

What if we grew up without any male care giver at all?
