Fear of Abandonment
Fear of Abandonment
It's an intense fear of being left behind or rejected by someone important to you. This creates deep anxiety in relationships.
Details
Fear of abandonment is an overwhelming anxiety about being left behind or losing someone who matters deeply to you.
This fear can show up as clinging, jealousy, and constant reassurance-seeking. Paradoxically, these very behaviors can end up pushing the other person away.
The roots of this fear usually lie in childhood experiences. Through therapy, Mindy can help you build a sense of security — the feeling that 'I can be okay, even on my own.'
