Abandonment Trauma

Understanding & Healing Abandonment Trauma

The fear of being left behind can shape every relationship and decision in your life. Abandonment trauma creates deep wounds that affect how you connect with others, view yourself, and navigate the world.


Signs of Abandonment Trauma:
• Intense fear of rejection
• Panic when people are distant or unavailable
• People-pleasing behaviors
• Fear of commitment
• Pushing people away before they can leave
• Difficulty trusting others
• Constant need for reassurance
• Pattern of unstable relationships
• Strong fear of being alone


The Impact of Abandonment
Whether abandonment occurred through:
• Physical absence of a parent
• Emotional unavailability
• Death of a loved one
• Divorce or separation
• Inconsistent caregiving


The effects can persist long into adulthood, creating patterns that feel impossible to break.
