It is important to know when you may be abandoning yourself so that you can start to change those habits and meet your own needs.

In this week’s episode I give examples of self abandonment I’ve seen in myself and in my clients. As always, identifying what behaviors are unhelpful to you is the first step in actually changing them. Tune in to hear some examples of self abandonment and some small habits you can enforce to gain self trust, compassion, and confidence.

Trusting yourself is the root of confidence, and the only way to trust yourself is to actually show up for yourself in ways that count. This means you follow your own boundaries, you exhibit mental toughness. Then, after a while, you will begin to notice that the little voice who was begging to be heard in the back of your mind is now running the show.

This is what healing abandonment wounds looks like in real time.
