For Daughters:
As a young woman graduating from highschool or college, you are likely very excited to be starting your adult life with great anticipation for the opportunities you are looking to embrase. While this is very good, right, and necessary, you may have a nudge within your heart that says something like, "it sure would be great if I had my dad's blessing on what I want to do". And for some daughters, the last few years of school may have been tumultuous as you've exerted your freedoms and burgeoning adulthood. Dad may have mishandled way too much and you're looking forward to leaving your childhood behind.
May we suggest, that you make one last effort in connecting to your dad. While you may have a direction that you'll be going, resentments, anger, unforgiveness too often polutes the paths within your heart. It may be very worthwhile to cut yourself loose from dad's failures and actually receive his blessing for the life you are embarrking on.
Outdoor Family Challenges are very intense activities in the wild that often breakdown the walls separating daughters from their fathers. While sharing a fly rod along a mountain stream, hanging from a cliff, and dealing with pack goats can be stressfull, it also provides the family therapist along the trip opportunities to overcome the walls that separate your father from you, and build bridges.
Our goal is for you to understand your father and forgive him for his failures, and for your father to build a bridge of connection to you as he blesses you on your launch into the flight of your life.
