We abandon ourselves when we…

* Chase love  
* People please
* Are codependent
* Over give or over do
* Ignore our inner voice
* Fix, rescue, save, + caretake
* Betray ourselves to be chosen
* Ignore or explain away red flags
* Minimize our feelings + need to keep others happy

What I’ve learned from intensive therapy is that such habits are generally coping strategies from childhood trauma and neglect. When we don’t feel safe and our needs aren’t met, we tend to proactively seek what we need and want. I don’t know about you, but knowing this makes it easier to forgive myself for the over-giving/people pleasing behaviours. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
