120 - ABANDONMENT - How A Fear of Being Hurt Can Lead To You Abandoning Them First - Stephanie Therapy

Not everyone "clings" to people to prevent people leaving. Some people surrender to the abandonment wound and engage, repeatedly, with people who ‘always leave’. Others will avoid intimacy totally, so as not to get hurt, and others will punish people when they let us down or try to leave us.Today, in part 2 of the OPENHOUSE Abandonment Wound Series, Louise & Stephanie explore:

The concept of surrendering to the abandonment wound.

The connection between the abandonment wound and the father wound.

The hope associated with surrendering to both the father wound and the abandonment wound.

How the abandonment wound can manifest as a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The link between low self-worth and the abandonment wound.

Counterattack: Why we engage in self-sabotage and punish others when they withdraw.

Avoidance of intimacy: Exploring why some people steer clear of closeness to avoid the fear of abandonment.
