Wellness Wednesday:

Healing from abandonment issues requires purposeful connection-starting with connecting to yourself. Start by paying attention to your physical needs. Eat when you’re hungry, rest when you’re tired, etc. Advocate for your emotional needs. If you’re feeling hurt, say so. Your feelings deserve a voice. Ask for help when you are struggling. Don’t carry your burdens all by yourself-share them! And finally, stop sabotaging yourself with negative behaviors. Choose to respond differently-lovingly.

Contact TBCC to help you learn to connect with yourself, especially if you’re feeling lonely (806)336-9454.

Abandonment is the permanent, often traumatic, separation from a person, relationship, or duty, causing deep emotional wounds. Abandonment issues are often caused by childhood neglect, loss, or broken relationships, etc. It manifests as people-pleasing, insecurity, or self-sabotage.

Common signs of abandonment issues include codependency (giving too much), extreme jealousy, fear of intimacy, controlling behavior, difficulty trusting, and settling for unhealthy relationships to avoid being alone.

Monday Mental Health Matters:

Regular prayer is a great form of meditation because it physically rewires your brain to improve focus and executive functioning while calming the amygdala. Consistent, daily prayer lowers cortisol, boosts serotonin and dopamine, enhancing emotional regulation. Prayer strengthens empathy. Consistency is key! Meditative prayer-such as repeating scriptures or phrases and/or using visualization-has the highest neuro-cognitive benefits.

Say your prayers! Meditate on the spirit of God. And if you’d like more information on enhancing your prayer life and cognitive abilities, call TBCC 806-336-9454.

Monday Mental Health Matters:

Meditation can heal trauma. Taking time to meditate calms the nervous system, reduces symptoms of PTSD, and rewires brain areas affected by stress-the amygdala, prefrontal cortex. You can practice meditation daily on your own, but for trauma, meditation is best practice under the guidance of trained counselors.

If you’re interested in trying meditation for healing your trauma, give us a call at TBCC (806)336-9454.
