Healing History
 Day 1

Without dwelling on it, name the

injustice or the pattern of injustice that
you experienced.
You can forgive someone for a general
trend of unfairness when there are too
many individual incidents to count.
How hurtful was this act or series of
acts by your father?

 Day 2
Do you think that what you experienced with
your father has negatively affected your inner
world?
Explain, how does it makes you feel

What intense emotions that always occurs

when you meet you Father?

What particular Memories that reminds you of

your bitterness towards your father?

 Day 3
A first step is to get to know your father more deeply.
What was his childhood like?
Was he mistreated or bullied?
Was he wounded?

Try to know more deeply your father's adolescence. Did

he feel like a failure at all? How? Might that wound,
being unhealed, be part of his interactions with you?

What was his early adulthood like? Who might have

been cruel to him, hardening his heart?

Do you think that over his entire life to this point, your
father has any regrets down deep inside? Shame or
guilt? Feelings of inadequacy?

 Day 4

Do you see that your father is more than his

specific behaviors of insensitivity toward you?
Can you see someone who might be more
unsure than strong inside, someone who never
got the chance to heal those wounds?

 Day 5

Who is your father? Who are you as a

wounded person who has the courage to
look at your father's wounds and your own
wounds?

 Day 6

Are there any qualities or personality traits that you appreciate in your
father? If so, what is that? how did it make you feel?

How do you attempt to connect or relate to your father?

I know my father does/do not love me because (FILL IN THE BLANK)

I know my father does/does not like me because (FILL IN THE BLANK)

What would you like to change about your father?

 Day 7

You are more than the father-wounds

you have suffered. Your father is more
than the wounding behaviors he gave
to you. You both share being
wounded.

Write a letter to your Father.

Then, rewrite your story without this
