Do you need people close to feel safe? Do you think they might always leave? They’re probably not going to stay. If these statements are relatable, this episode is for you. Today, Louise and Stephanie discuss the abandonment wound, how you can have the wound *without* being abandoned and how it can drive us to overcompensate, cling, and pull others closer.

The pair talk about the concept of ‘overcompensating’ to the abandonment wound, as well as:

• The neurobiological roots of abandonment
• The roots of clingy behavior and over giving
• The concept of pulling and keeping people close 
• The subconscious patterns at play, as well as repeating cycles
• Why if it's hysterical, it's often historical 
• And more

This is a critical episode to help you understand how your abandonment wound shows up in your life, and how you can start to work to heal it. Understanding & conscious awareness is the first step in the healing journey.
