Parental Abandonment can leave you feeling lost, unsafe, sad---a number of feelings. Let’s borrow benefits and tap some charge off.
KC: Even though I was emotionally abandoned by my parents---I admit I continue the pattern of attracting into my life people that leave me
KC: Even though it seems everyone eventually leaves me---I’m open to changing this
KC: Even though I’m attracting a “healthier” group of people it still hurts when a “friend” does abandon me---because I then think I’m still broken
EB: Here I go again
SE: What’s the point
UE: I’m back where I started
UN: Everyone abandons me
CH: What’s the point of trusting
CB: I’m just gonna get hurt
UA: I’m just gonna keep attracting people who hurt me
TH: My best friend----I can’t believe it
EB: I really thought I was over this
SE: I feel so stupid
UE: What did I miss
UN: Who cares
CH: I got hurt
CB: Maybe it’s not my fault
UA: Maybe it has everything to do with her
TH: Hummm, maybe it’s just to clean up the last of my abandonment issues
EB: To know that I can acknowledge how I feel
SE: And have some compassion for myself
UE: To accept that these feelings will arise from time to time
UN: To see that it’s not EVERYONE in my life who leaves
CH: To put it in perspective
CB: To not close down my heart each time someone disappoints me
UA: To give myself the space to process my feelings and allow myself time to grieve
TH: And then to put it into perspective
Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh
CB: Just because one person in the present hurts me it doesn’t mean I need to close my heart to everyone and to know not everyone abandons me
When the limiting thoughts come back tap on the UE and say or think: “I am committed to living from an open heart because I’m worth it and that makes me happy”
Have a great weekend!
