The paradox for abandonment survivors is that no matter what they do to build their self-esteem, the invisible wound of abandonment is always working to drain it away.
Have you ever felt the sting of being left behind, whether physically or emotionally? In this compelling episode of the 'Adult Child' podcast, Andrea sits down with returning guest Joe Ryan to unpack the fear of abandonment and its long-lasting effects on those who grew up in dysfunctional families. Joe, who hosts his own podcast 'It’s Not You, It’s Your Trauma', brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to the table, making this discussion both enlightening and relatable.
Abandonment issues often rear their heads in adulthood, manifesting as either avoidance or codependency. Andrea and Joe explore how these patterns take root in childhood experiences of being neglected or emotionally deserted. They don't just skim the surface; they dig deep into their own pasts, sharing raw and honest memories that highlight how these early wounds continue to affect their lives today.
One of the key takeaways from their conversation is the paradox of abandonment: no matter how much effort one puts into building self-esteem, the invisible wound of abandonment can persistently undermine it. This episode isn't just about identifying the problem; it's about finding a path to healing. Andrea and Joe offer practical tips and tools for revisiting and working through unresolved pain, emphasizing that true recovery involves facing those old, painful memories head-on.
If you're someone who's grappling with the aftereffects of a dysfunctional upbringing or supporting someone who is, this episode is a treasure trove of insights and actionable advice. Tune in to hear Andrea and Joe's heartfelt conversation and take your first steps toward healing those deep-seated abandonment wounds.
