Self-fathering aims at building assertiveness and self-protection. It includes learning to effectively confront external and/or internal abuse, as well as standing up for the adult child’s rights, as described in Tool Box 2 of chapter 16.

Self-compassion is the domicile of recovery, and self-protection is its foundation. When
self-compassion is sufficiently established as a “home base” to return to in difficult times, an
urge to be self-protective naturally arises from it. Living in the world without access to these
primal instincts of survival is truly terrifying.
