332. Can't abandon myself again: Recognizing Self-Neglect (Shadow Work Series Part 3 of 22)

The Playground

Have you ever felt disconnected from your own needs, emotions, or desires? In this episode, we’re diving into the subtle yet powerful ways we self-abandon—ignoring our boundaries, silencing our inner voice, and prioritizing others at the expense of ourselves. We’ll explore how self-abandonment shows up in everyday life, the underlying wounds that drive it, and practical steps to reconnect with your authentic self.

In this shadow work series, we’re diving deep into the parts of ourselves we often avoid—the hidden fears, patterns, and wounds shaping our lives from the shadows. Together, we’ll explore the four core wounds—trust, guilt, abandonment, and neglect—and uncover how they affect our relationships, self-worth, and inner peace. This isn’t about fixing or erasing these parts; it’s about understanding, embracing, and integrating them to step into your wholeness. So, grab a journal, an open mind, and maybe a cup of tea—because we’re about to get real, raw, and radically self-aware. Let’s play in the shadows.
