Ep 27: Fear of Abandonment - Security with Community

The fear of abandonment can come from multiple places and can be linked to anxious attachment. It's a fear of being discarded by people we love, making us worried that one day our loved ones will realize they don't love us and leave without a trace. This fear can be ingrained from an early age or learned through other significant relationships, but it can also be worked through to help create more secure relationships. Finding security comes with practice, and there is no better practice than asking for help from a community of like-minded people that wants to support you.Abbie and Antonio discuss security, anxious attachment, fear of abandonment, the importance of community, asking for help, the linearity of monogamous relationships, and the difference between being open versus vulnerable.
