What if your current relationship struggles are deeply rooted in past experiences of rejection and abandonment? Join us as we uncover the profound impact of childhood wounds on our adult lives. Through deeply personal stories, we shed light on how unmet expectations and feelings of being left out by friends can trigger recurring rejection and how recognizing these triggers can be the first step towards healing. We even touch on the sensitive topic of porn addiction, revealing its significant effect on relationships and self-worth. 

Ever wondered why childhood abandonment leaves such a lasting mark on our relationships? We'll share personal anecdotes of feeling abandoned during critical childhood moments and discuss how this unresolved pain shapes our expectations and behaviors today. By turning these emotional triggers into opportunities for growth, you can build stronger, healthier connections. Additionally, we highlight a fascinating aspect of human behavior—how some individuals in ministry might use kindness as a shield against rejection.

After having a baby, the dynamics of attachment can become more complex. We explore the oscillation between anxious and avoidant behaviors that new parents may experience, and the necessity of reevaluating attachment wounds for greater security. We emphasize the importance of radical ownership over one's rejection wounds and the powerful role of God's unconditional love in this healing journey. Join us as we discuss how to foster meaningful connections grounded in personal worth and compassion for others' broken attachments.
