Abandonment doesn’t always look like being left.
Sometimes it shows up as fear of getting close, overthinking messages, people-pleasing, or expecting others to walk away.
Old experiences can quietly shape how safe relationships feel today. The good news is that these patterns can be understood, worked through, and changed.
You don’t have to carry that sense of being “left behind” on your own.
I work with people to explore where these feelings began and help them build healthier, more secure ways of relating to others.
If this resonates with you, support is available.
