Abandonment Wound Healing

For me, like many of us, it first appeared in childhood. I longed for more physical quality time, protection and for a deeper level of emotional attunement to my heart and feelings.
It feels important to note here that emotional abandonment can be just as impactful as physical abandonment.
As I grew older, the wound of abandonment manifested in intense jealousy, and I eventually faced intense betrayal when my partner cheated on me…a few times! The pain was compounded by the fact that two of the women were my close friends.
Trusting men to be faithful, to stay, to be present emotionally and physically always felt very difficult. I wanted to trust, to open up, but the deep wound of abandonment left me feeling suspicious, stuck and intensely self-protective.
Therapy helped me understand the depth of this wound, but I struggled to embody that understanding and truly transform. There was a missing piece that Tantra eventually revealed to me.
I needed to approach this healing through the body, cultivating a level of trust, openness, and surrender within myself first. I learned to create safety in my own skin, to reparent and attune to my own needs. I grew intimate with myself and others, finding joy and pleasure through a more body led approach to life.
I learned to stop abandoning my own heart, to listen to my body’s “yes” and follow it, and to recognize my body’s “no” and stand firm in it.
