*************************************************************************************
Have you ever caught yourself chasing after someone who keeps pulling away, or saying “yes” when every fiber of your being wants to say “no,” just to keep the peace?
If you’re tired of putting everyone else first because deep down you’re scared of being left behind—especially during or after a divorce—you’re not alone.
That habit of self-abandonment isn’t a personal flaw. It’s a survival strategy wired deep into your nervous system, often from early family dynamics, and it can keep you trapped in cycles of unhappiness and disconnection long after the breakup is final.
In this episode, you’ll discover why your nervous system clings to unhealthy patterns even when it hurts, how to finally unburden those old abandonment wounds using Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and homeopathy, and practical steps for dating again without losing yourself or repeating the same mistakes.
Listen now to learn how to break the cycle and finally choose yourself—because you deserve a deep, lasting connection that starts from within.
