Abandonment is a fear that we will be left alone forever with no one to protect us.
Imagine feeling like love always comes with a side of insecurity. In this episode of 'Adult Child', Andrea sits down with Susan Anderson, a seasoned expert in abandonment trauma with over 30 years of clinical experience. Susan has dedicated her career to helping tens of thousands navigate the murky waters of rejection and self-sabotage.
This conversation is a deep dive into how being ostracized by peers can shape our emotional landscape and why we often confuse love with insecurity in romantic relationships. Andrea and Susan discuss the concept of positive narcissism and how defensive abandonment plays a role in our social interactions and self-perception. They also explore the crucial process of internalizing our emotional responses to abandonment and learning to distinguish our 'big S Self' from our inner child.
