Self Explained

S3. Ep3. Part One: The Abandonment Wound


Listen Later

Unresolved abandonment wounds can be the underlying cause for many of your relationship issues: insecurities, challenges around saying "good-bye" or being separated for too long, anxiety, obsessive behaviours, low energy levels, feeling like you are unlovable, unwanted and simply "not good enough".

And yet, many people who have this wound cannot verbalise what it is that they are going through - my past self included. Many people who have this wound have grown up in homes where caregivers were absent or neglectful of the child's needs, where the caregiver was addicted or dependent on some sort of substance, or where they went through some sort of impactful moment in school just as their sense of self was developing. 

Without awareness of why you feel the way you do and how it connects back to your childhood, this wound will continue to hum around in the background affecting the way you relate in your relationships in adulthood - especially your romantic ones. 

Part One dives into The Abandonment Wound and Manifestations of Survival Strategies. In this episode you'll get some journaling prompts to help you uncover your own insights into why you relate in the way that you do as an adult. Part Two will build on this and teach you how this fear could cause you to self-sabotage in your love life so be sure to hit the "follow" or "subscribe" button.
