"people with healthy attachments know that everyone in their life will abandon them at some point..." Damn, that hits hard. The idea that I am not crazy for having the intuition that this is inevitable, but that the dysfunction is the inordinate attempt to prevent it from coming to pass, is so paradigm-shifting, I don't think I can even process the rest of the video right now.

It is why so many choose not to fully love each other and focus on self, and use all their energy to stay safe from the hurts of love. No one can hurt you deeper than a loved one, the flip side is in a healthy relationship they also add that much joy. There companions. Doesn’t have to be taken personal, we are humans trying to figure this out. We’re going make mistakes hopefully we’re just going to learn from them and grow a strong foundation. Excessive fears and non reality expectations prevent this from happening properly.

My fear of abandonment is so strong that I'll only be someone's friend unless I'm absolutely positively sure that they'll accept me. And even then if I just get the slightest signal that they don't like me then I'll abandon them before they have the chance to abandon me that way I don't have to deal with the pain of being rejected

I’m genuinely absolutely heartbroken, my fear of abandonment caused a rupture in one of the most incredible connections I’ve had with an amazing man (who was securely attached) and drove him away until he broke it off, it literally became a self fulfilling prophecy and I feel like I will never get over this but these videos are so powerful in bringing awareness to our behaviour and being able to address patterns that have always led our lives

I did my capstone project on attachment style. I've learned soooo much about my abandonment issues from my childhood. I really was looking for any and everything in my environment that would look like abandonment. I would even think my wife being nice to another man was a sign of abandonment. I have to consciously be aware of this at all times because I can easily go back to that abandoned inner child.

Maybe the severity of one's abandonment fear-reaction/arousal/activation also has to do with our life situation and health as qa whole though. If we lack blood supply to the Heart f ex, we are bound to feel worried and insecure. And if the spine portion steering anxiety and depression has issues, one is also bound to experience unsafety, depression, fear, or worry, sensitivity and fragility (=needing the protective film of another's soul substance + warmth nearby) .You are right Mr, because at that moment your wife is being nice to an other man, she has him, not you, as her focus of attention. I prayed for you, asking Creator to hold, keep, protect, love and guide you at all times on your path. Please embrace and be with yourself.

Your way of presenting/talking has advanced beautifully. There seems to be much more presence and warmth to it, and you are talking at a slower pace which is great. The key aspects are delivered even better like that. Abandonment: in my experience, having empathy towards the person who abandons is a great tool. It does not require overseeing poor behavior, and allows at the same time to relax and not take it personally. As said by you in other words, this can happen if we are (can be) really there for ourselves which means we don't abandon ourselves in the first place. The point of view of feeling abandoned comes only up if we fall back into a child like state, forgetting that we are actually resourceful adults.

Holy fuck I'm so fucking sad rn but this is exactly the prophecy I've been spinning in my head since the end of high school, I'm turning 27 very soon and this idea has made it hard to get friends and even harder to get girlfriends out of fear of not being good enough due to a large lack of experience in that aspect especially, and then being abandoned...or even worse betrayed in some way. Has literally made me self sabotage and or not even try in any relationships and the loneliness is finally too crushing to just push aside anymore. Thank you so much for these videos as they are giving me hope that I can start to maybe change and fulfill that lack of friendships and relationships that I've always been having.

What an excellent and insightful presentation of abandonment that doesn't pathologize and make an individual feel bad about oneself, put down, judged, weak or helpless or hopeless, but rather, that we are formed and affected by ruptures in security and Real fears from de- fragmented parts of our child selves that we Are Able to Have Agency over and get our power back that we gave up. I also appreciate you showing how it affects outcomes in a way that hurts ourselves further and the bonds that we desire by explaining what is driving this cycle and what the patterns are rooted and how we are inadvertently pushing away the very thing we yearn, that is : closeness and understanding. Thankyou!

The only mistake I noticed is that in the secure example of relating you implied that the reason people do not accept the request/invitation back into connection is because they are insecure and it causes overwhelm. This makes anxiously attached people believe that anyone who doesn’t want to meet their needs or doesn’t like them is avoidant. Then they’re right back in the cycle of blaming others for their problems. Sometimes you’re just not compatible. There is no need to label others to make ourselves feel better.
@heidipriebe1
@heidipriebe1 4 ай бұрын
Ah I see what you’re saying. Yes. In creating that part I was thinking exclusively about why someone would respond from a non-adult state to an invitation for reconnection (rather than about a situation where the people involved were just not compatible, in which case acknowledging that *would* be a form of adult-to-adult connection, just not one that results in the continuation of the relationship). The distinction is important for sure.

but anxious people are not delusional or crazy, we act and react in response to others treatment. my ex broke up and returned to me 4 times, why???? Because we are not compatible and he wanted to use me till i have nothing left and then drop me again? so are relationship worked but then something happened and he didn't love me any more? i don't believe it's that easy and simple, nothing is. We are not stupid or crazy, and some people do be going around and treating others like crap because of their own shit. When I'm not compatible with someone, i don't start dating them, i don't wanna talk to them, i don't wanna sleep with them. Seems blaming the victim makes someone feel better, too.

@@skromnyasha Hi, I was actually writing about something a little different. Anxious Attachers accuse you of being avoidant when you don’t like them or when you don’t want to give them what they asked for. Not all of them obviously bc some are more insecure than others. I’m sorry you got attached to a Narcissist and took them back 4 times. Maybe once you heal your Anxious Attachment Style, you’ll be able to better discern between a normal Avoidant vs an Avoidant Narcissist. Bc Narcissists definitely won’t change their behavior for you.

We even abandon ourselves at times. So I can't be there for myself all the time I can't expect that of others. There will be small abandonment and large ones too. That's reality and why we need to be mindful in the present. A car accident tomorrow could lead to abandonment through death, letting anxiety keep you future problems just means missing out on the now and the now is all that exists.

Thank you so much, Heidi. What a clear, insightful, right on description of this topic. Your videos are so incredibly helpful, educational & supportive. After listening to what you have shared with us I am tuning into an additional factor. When we have internalized the deep & integrated feeling of both loving & being loved by someone the experience of abandonment through loss of some kind is still painful but it is not devastating in the ways that they can be with unresolved inner child states. During the pandemic 6 people died in my life. Three very unexpectedly & the other three were more expected due to long term illnesses & old age. What I realized after each of these separations is that the quality of the relationship that I had with each different person made a big difference as to how I felt about their deaths. If I had a felt sense of a shared love & appreciation between myself & the other person, my experience of separation & loss was much different than if I had a less secure relationship & attachment with them. There was an exception to this. When one of these individuals died suddenly it soon became clear that early childhood grief & fear from attachment wounds was very much contributing to my emotional distress & pain. This has propelled me to do deeper attachment healing.

Thank you for teaching me how to attune, communicate, build intimacy, differentiate, anchor within, and of presence and curiosity. I didn’t realise I’d been thinking I was connecting to people while talking or listening but really I was dissociating the whole time. And this was making an autoimmune fibromyalgic disease worse. This is about the 4 video of yours I’ve watched in 3 weeks. Honestly, thank you so so much. Your work is unlike any other I’ve come across. Being an anxious aslightly avoidant attached, I had come to the conclusion that I wasn’t meant to be with my secure but slightly avoidant partner who is truly loving. I’ve avoided attachment theory cos of the stigmatisation and villainising insecure attachments with no real strong explanation of how to improve. You mix Eckhart tolles presence and explain his work better than I’ve ever seen before and for that im not leaving my relationship and going back into hopelessness of not being able to have a relationship and throwing my life plans out.

Hi I recently started watching your videos....and I am SOoo thankful for you and your videos. Omg thank you. I knew I had a deep fear of abandonment and rejection and I'm still not "fixed" but your videos are able to help me make more sense of it all and articulate it better. I know I have a long way to go and plenty of work to do but watching your videos are definitely a start. I struggle HARD with relationships. Platonic and non platonic. It's so hard and terrible. I'm not sure how to get my needs met In a relationship at all, even though in the past I've been very verbal about what I need but unfortunately I've grown up around and have had A LOT of toxic narcissistic people around me, including and especially my parents, family and siblings and "friends" growing up. It's hard to believe that there are good people out there who will treat me right or simply treat me how I would treat them (basic reciprocity). It seems VERY hard to come by... And now as an adult in my mid 30s, it seems like most people have their group of friends and it seems like most people are just toxic evil and narcissistic because that's literally all I've been exposed to all of my life. Im glad I found your channel but if I'm being honest, I feel completely hopeless, like Ill always have no friends, no significant other and no companionship throughout my life. I'm not sure how to help myself through this. Anyways,thanks for reading and thanks for all you do. I hope you have a wonderful life.❤🙂🌹

I felt my mother was present in several XC Ski marathons. I also feel that nuch of her wisdom was passed on to my daughter who has the same nema but never met her grandmother. Your videos are great.

This was really helpful. I am working through my negative core belief that I inherited from my mother about no one "caring" for me. My friends are kind, patient people that try to show me that and I am lucky for it. It's not always easy, and I don't always believe it, but I try to remind myself of all the times they were there. Words mean so much to me as well.

11:39 Insecure Love: Crazy big high. Helps you feel finally complete andwhole when other person comes in life. Because they fulfill our unmet emotional needs. Secure love: Mutual companionship and appreciation. Lost love: Secure : Feels like a loss of a connection. Insecure: Feels like loss of feeling wholeness. Intensely painful. Their absence reflects the sense of wholeness we didn't have before, but will not be realised by us. Solution: 20:08 Feel whole on your own. Show up for yourself.Self intimacy. INTIMACY IS NOT A SCARCE RESOURCE.

coming from the space of resource, not desperation... 🙏🏾 also an eye-opening realization that what's expected in good enough parenting is mentorship and wholeness. been blessed with mentorship outside of my caregivers yet struggle with wholeness. having awareness and language for this is powerful - thank you!
