Healing the Abandonment Wound: Embracing Intimacy and Connection
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Ever feel like past rejections are haunting your current relationships? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein tackles the deep-seated abandonment wound and its impact on intimacy. This wound often stems from early parental rejection, leading to defense mechanisms and love addiction. These behaviors can make it hard to maintain healthy relationships, pushing true intimacy out of reach. Yitz highlights the importance of developing a close relationship with yourself first, being vulnerable, and learning to trust again.
By understanding and addressing these patterns, you can open up to others and find meaningful connections. Seeking help and support is vital in identifying and shedding these faulty patterns. Remember, it's not about seeking love but breaking down the barriers you've built against it. Tune in to start your journey towards healing and building healthier relationships.
