In this episode, we explore how abandonment—both physical and emotional—shapes the way we experience love, connection, and relationships.

Abandonment isn’t always about someone leaving. Sometimes it’s about someone being present… but not emotionally available. Other times, it’s the absence of a person altogether. Either way, the impact can leave lasting beliefs about self-worth, trust, and what to expect from others.

This episode breaks down how abandonment connects directly to neglect and how both influence adult relationship patterns.
