In this episode, I dive into the subconscious patterns that silently shape our lives.
When we experience trauma—especially in childhood—we learn to abandon parts of ourselves just to stay connected to our caregivers, peers, or anyone we depend on for love and safety. It’s an incredibly intelligent survival strategy… but it comes at a cost.
When we disconnect from ourselves to stay connected to others, we plant the seeds of insecure attachment—first and foremost, to ourselves.
The tricky part? Our system hides this from us. It veers us away from our wounding so we can stay "safe" and comfortable. But in doing so, our unresolved pain quietly drives our behavior. We see life through the lens of our wounds, which creates threat where there is none. We try to protect ourselves from pain—but end up attracting exactly what we fear.
Let’s talk about how self-abandonment shows up in our lives, how it keeps us stuck in painful patterns, and what it really takes to return home to ourselves.
