#164: 5 Unexpected Triggers of the Abandonment Wound


Listen Later

In today's episode, we're talking all about the abandonment wound — and specifically, five scenarios that might unexpectedly trigger your fears and insecurities around abandonment. When we think about the fear of abandonment, we often imagine scenarios where someone physically leaves us—maybe a breakup or a loved one walking out the door. But the truth is, this fear can manifest in much more subtle and unexpected ways, especially for those of us with anxious attachment patterns.

We'll cover:

  • how periods of grief or loss can trigger abandonment fears
  • illness and wanting to be cared for
  • dealing with unexpected life challenges
  • periods of transition or major life changes
  • emotional overwhelm and the need for support
