We Are Standing on the Edge

EP 089 | Healing the Abandonment Wound


Listen Later

Daddy issues anyone?

This week I'm peeling back the layers of the heart scars that stick with us from moments of feeling abandoned, neglected, or flat-out rejected.

From the emotional gut punches to the mind games, we'll dive into why this core wound creates such a long lasting echo, often becoming one of the most defining aspects of our entire lives.

I share some examples from my own abandonment drama with my brilliant and troubled father, showing how those early episodes shape our beliefs and behaviors well into adulthood.

Learn how these abandonment wounds sneak their way into every part of our behavior and personality, turning some of us into people-pleasing perfectionists on a quest for that elusive gold star of external validation.

Oh, and did I mention the joyride of unworthiness and never feeling quite good enough? Yeah, we're shining a light on that too, seeing how it seeps into our relationships and attachment styles, keeping that abandonment hamster wheel spinning.

But not to fear, there's hope in the form of the healing salve of radical self-acceptance. Taking a hard look in the mirror, and doling out forgiveness like Halloween candy. By the end of this show, you'll be ready to tackle your abandonment demons head-on, transforming not just your own life but also spreading that love and healing to everyone around you.
