Love Me Don’t Leave Me: Addressing Abandonment Issues in Therapy
People need other people. Fear of abandonment is a survival response that is present from birth. In childhood, abandonment can be a life or death situation. Adults with fear of abandonment often have not identified the roots of their fears so that they can better understand and choose helpful reactions as adults, for whom abandonment is unpleasant, but often not a life or death situation.
