Many times in life we operate from a place of fear, anxiety and insecurity because we have this fear of being abandoned. If we have experienced emotional disconnection, inconsistency in parenting or physical departures as children, we interpreted that we were being rejected and abandoned. So fast forward later in our lives when we’re an adult, we get triggered if we anticipate a physical departure or if experience a relationship ending. This is a deep physiological wound that creates an extreme response in our nervous systems because it threatens our sense of survival and safety. In this episode Victoria talks about the root of abandonment issues and the practical steps we can take to heal the abandonment wound through the inner child.
