Honouring Fathers and Father Figures

Father’s Day can stir a wide range of emotions—from gratitude and connection to grief, absence, or unresolved tension. In therapy, we often explore how father-child relationships are shaped by not only individual dynamics but also cultural values and generational patterns. Approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) help youth and caregivers understand how early attachment experiences influence current relationships, and offer tools to heal and grow.
