Are you constantly second-guessing yourself… staying silent to “keep the peace”… or pretending you don’t care so you won’t feel disappointed?

These are hidden signs of self-rejection and self-abandonment—patterns often wired into us by emotional abuse and trauma.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how living in constant fear isn’t just anxiety it’s a nervous system response keeping you stuck in survival mode. I’ll share sneaky ways you might be self-sabotaging without even realizing it, why people-pleasing is actually self-abandonment and how wishing others would accept you is a big part of you abandoning yourself.

I’m also sharing some questions you can ask yourself to start reconnecting to your true self and how to move beyond coping into real healing.

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re “too much” or “never enough,” this episode is for you.

Listen now and learn how to stop abandoning yourself and finally feel safe being you.

Are you tired of feeling like you’re always the one left behind in love, friendships, or even your own family? Do you wonder why certain relationships trigger deep fear, anxiety, or an aching sense of emptiness, no matter how much you know better?

In this powerful episode of Be A Better You Podcast, emotional abuse recovery coach Allison dives into the truth about abandonment wounds and rejection wounds that often start in childhood but keep sabotaging your adult life.

You’ll discover:

✨ 7-10 relatable examples of how childhood emotional wounds show up in your relationships, self-worth, and emotional triggers.

✨ Why understanding your attachment style (anxious, avoidant, disorganized, or secure) is helpful—but can also keep you stuck if you use it as an excuse instead of a starting point for healing.

✨ The difference between coping and true emotional freedom and why so many women stay trapped in patterns of abandonment and rejection despite years of therapy or self-help.

✨ How childhood trauma and rejection wounds shape your nervous system, beliefs about love, and how safe you feel being your authentic self.

✨ A gentle invitation to break free from old wounds to explore what’s keeping you stuck and how healing at the subconscious level can set you free.

Whether you’ve been told “you’re too much,” or you’re the woman who’s successful on the outside but secretly terrified of being alone, this episode is for you.
