ABANDONMENT INSIGHTS

A Universal Wound

Abandonment is a universal wound.  It is what makes heartbreak so painful.   Its why separation arouses such intense anxiety and why losing a friend, a job, a lover, causes our self-esteem to plummet.    Abandonment stirs up feelings of not being worthy, not belonging, not being in control of our lives.  Abandonment wounds lie deep and invisible, making it harder to let go.  That is abandonment-always acting beneath the surface, spilling primal fear into moments of disconnection, disappointment, and loss.  It generates feelings of insecurity and self-doubt when we attempt to love again.    (Resource: S.Anderson: The Abandonment Recovery Workbook)
