What can we learn from those who have battled the deep-seated fears of abandonment? Dr. Margaret Paul takes us on a journey through the complexities of abandonment wounds and how they manifest in our relationships. With a touch of humour and a lot of compassion, she explains that these wounds often originate in childhood and can be triggered in adult relationships, especially romantic ones. Imagine feeling like your partner's every move is a potential threat to your emotional safety.
Sounds exhausting, right? But Dr. Paul assures us that healing is possible. Through the Inner Bonding process, Dr. Paul guides listeners to understand the origins of these wounds and the unhealthy strategies we adopt to avoid them. From controlling behaviours to emotional withdrawal, she lays it all out. But here's the twist: healing starts with turning inward, not outward. By showing up for ourselves, setting boundaries, and embracing our inner child, we can create a safe space for healing. Dr.
Paul shares real-life examples of couples navigating these treacherous waters, demonstrating that with commitment and the right tools, love and passion can return to even the most strained relationships. She highlights the importance of self-responsibility and learning to communicate without blame or judgement. So, are you ready to stop handing your power over to others and start choosing yourself?
This episode is a gentle reminder that healing begins within, and with the right support, you can transform your relationship with yourself and others. What steps will you take today to heal your abandonment wounds?
