Abandonment doesn’t always look like what we think it does. It isn’t just about someone leaving or not choosing you.

In this episode, I talk about the less obvious ways abandonment shows up.

The ones that start in childhood and shape how we connect (or disconnect) as adults.

You’ll hear about:

The hidden forms of abandonment that often go unnoticed — like over-functioning or caretaking.

How emotional abandonment in childhood can happen even in loving homes.

The link between fear of being left and the ways we’ve learned to leave ourselves.

Listen if you want to:

Understand why independence can sometimes be a trauma response.

Recognise the moments you abandon your own needs to feel safe.

Begin reconnecting with the parts of you that never got the care they needed.
