There is a Loving Father inside of you that will help you draw boundaries and bring order, protection and direction to your life. Your Loving Father archetype helps you to be authentic in your interactions with others. He helps you to be reliable and true to your word. He helps you to be firm, emphatic and fair.

Accessing your Loving Father’s protection, direction and discipline can be challenging because there is also an Unloving Father archetype within you that is your inner critic. Your Unloving Father energy criticizes your every move. He is a tyrant who misuses his power. He controls by condemning. He is ruthless, rigid, intimidating, shaming, scornful, cynical, inconsistent, unreliable and arbitrary.

Loving Father

I am impersonal in what I deliver and what I receive.

I set the law, the standards, the goals for the family.

I direct the family members in the right way to be, to say, to do.

I set boundaries for the family members to live within and that others may not trespass.

I protect the members of the family from what would hurt them from within or without.

My voice is heard as “You … should….must…”

Unloving Father

You are not allowed any power or authority.

You will be ruthlessly crushed for attempting to have power.

You have no rights.

You will do as I say.

You get the consequences that I administer.

You will be criticized.

You will be condemned.

You will be judged according to standards which I may or may not reveal.

You will be intimidated.
