What Is An Abandonment Wound?

It's the series finale of In All Honesty and Michelle is addressing something hugely important and personal: the abandonment wound.

The abandonment wound often stems from the absence of/emotional neglect from primary caregivers during childhood - and it can profoundly affect romantic and platonic relationships in adulthood.

During this episode, Michelle shares her personal experiences of feeling abandoned in hospitals and boarding schools and how these early experiences have manifested later in life through people-pleasing, conflict avoidance and trust issues.

Michelle also shares practical advice on how to recognize and heal these wounds through self-soothing and re-parenting techniques.
