S2E8 Overcoming Fear of Abandonment through the Best Relationship Ever

In this inspiring and insightful podcast episode, we seek to explore the relationship with self, focusing on the crucial topic of the fear of abandonment. A basic human instinct that goes back years to when survival relied on being part of a tribe, this fear has evolved into more complex forms, manifesting in our relationships and our interactions with the world.

We delve into how fear of abandonment may be dictating our responses, choosing a life of misery over the fright of being alone, or holding on too tight to avoid giving others the space to go. The central theme remains the same: deep down, it's all about not wanting to be left alone without the protection of the tribe which essentially translates to the fear of death.

Through personal experiences and psychological insights, I present how overcoming this fear can only be achieved if we prioritize ourselves and nourish the relationship with self above anything else. Recognize your fears, feelings, stories, physical discomforts, all in an effort to understand that there is a part of you that longs for recognition and attention.

Explore an intriguing concept of reparenting ourselves where you express love, empathy, and strictness towards your inner child. It's about teaching ourselves that it's completely okay to be available for our emotions, needs, desires, to give voice to them, and ultimately to be available for us.

Tune into this episode for a deeper understanding of yourself, to work your way towards overcoming fears, and forming a stronger, healthier bond with yourself.
