Millions of people are caught up in cycles of abandonment. Why do they keep repeating the same patterns over and over? What can they do to break free?

Self sabotage is the residual of unresolved abandonment. Its lingering insecurity and self doubt cause us to forfeit our long range goals.

The upheaval of divorce is considerable. The bottom line is that divorce is an emotional experience that jangles the raw nerve of abandonment.

You feel the connection at first while you’re pursuing someone. The newness keeps you interested. But as soon as you become sure of them, put up a boundary.

Anxiety overwhelms us when we attempt a new relationship. We feel a painful lack of trust toward any potential partner which causes us to panic and withdraw.

Have you been hurt so many times that you have come to confuse insecurity with love?

Do you hang onto an old relationship because you can’t face the abyss? The pain of abandonment cuts deeply.

When our love connections are in turmoil, the panic and insecurity can hit hard, especially during the holiday season.

“How do I survive the holiday alone?” is a question we ask ourselves as the season approaches. Many people must face the holiday season alone, bereft of that special someone.

Most of us without realizing it, have been trying to improve the relationship we have with ourselves all of our lives, just not effectively.
