29| Your Childhood Trauma Is Ruining Your Love Life - Part 1 The Wound of Abandonment


Listen Later

Learn What Creates Abandonment Wounds?
Physical abandonment: absent parent, divorce in childhood, death of a parent
Emotional abandonment: parent present physically but emotionally unavailable, neglect
Conditional love: love given only when you performed, achieved, or behaved "right"

How Abandonment Shows Up in Your Dating Life:
Anxious Attachment - You become clingy, need constant reassurance, fear being left
Testing Behavior - You push men away to see if they'll stay (self-fulfilling prophecy)
Settling - You accept breadcrumbs because any attention feels better than none
Hyper-Independence - "I don't need anyone" becomes your armor, preventing intimacy
Moving Too Fast - You rush commitment to secure the relationship before they can leave
 
Does This Sound Like You?

You keep attracting the same type of man—different face, same problems

​​You feel incapable of choosing the right man 

You give your all and get breadcrumbs in return 

You don't know how to trust your judgment after it's "failed" you before 

You're exhausted from dating apps and game-playing 

You wonder if God is punishing you for what you did in the past 

You're ready to stop the cycle but don't know 

 

If you nodded your head to any of these, I'd like to ask you some questions for a research I am doing.

I AM NOT SEELING ANYTHING - I simply want to understand your journey better so I can serve women like you more effectively
