This woman is completely dialed in. I have huge abandonment issues, and this really explains everything and calms me. I've been sucked into the mgtow videos that clearly are all fight or flight messages. It almost got too overwhelming, and not healthy to listen too. I'm thankful I found this video.

[missmaxwell]

I found it authentic when you were able to admit your vulnerability, feeling overwhelmed by the energy demands of your children.

[Walklikeaduck]

These are wonderful classes made available for all. Thank you.

[clemteetonball]

These lectures are really helpful in understanding this condition. My best friend (of 15 years) has just ended our friendship over a work based situation (she helped get me job at her work but it really wasn't my bag, I gratefully declined a permanent post and left after 4 months, she described it as "being kicked in the teeth") She has massive abandonment issues and is a gentle and thoughtful soul. Obviously I'm gutted but at least this puts it all in context.

[mariannahasegawa]

I am so thankful that good quality presentation like this is available for free and it is possible to listen to it as part of my own therapy any time!

23:47 "If they go to mom and they ask her to play, and she always says, 'No!', then they're gonna learn that the world is rejecting. It's not a safe place." I listented to that three times in a row. It answers so many questions about myself and explains to me why I am like this. My mother said no, rolled her eyes, or would scream, "Go outside and play, you're getting on my nerves!" Eventually I stopped asking her for anything. Now I'm almost 50, have never felt safe, and am angry most of the time. I have been watching these videos trying to heal and be less hostile and angry. I keep hearing bits of wisdom that give me answers and clarity and help me to be a different way. Thank you Dr. Snipes! You and Gabor Mate have healed me more in two years than dozens of self-help books and six therapists have done in twenty-five.

I have fear of abandonment after my mom's death when I was 8. I never had long term relationship because of this fear. I'm learning to overcome this thanks to your guidance

[PoisonelleMisty]

If my parents just said to me happy birthday once in a while I wouldn't turn out so
The funny thing is that I was never loved unconditionally, I was taught that love should be earned and not given freely.
I was raised in a cold dysfunctional home without love.
I was never shown love however I didn't turn out coldhearted, I give love freely.
I think the emotional pain I received made me aware of others' pain and loneliness, maybe this was a lesson I had to learn.

[bananian]

I don't think my parents are bad people, but I find myself wanting to find answers to the problems I have.

[gabrielachavez]

Thank you for being so helpful. I appreciate how clear and detailed you speak. I feel good to finally have a diagnosis. Now the work begins.

When an individual has grown in a very dysfunctional environment with one absent parent and another abusive and neglectful it takes an emotional tall on the child and when the child grows up and enters adulthood the challenges of who to trust, who is safe and where to find belonging are very real and very difficult issues to sort out. If you don’t have support system in family or friends the world feels like a fish bowl where you are going in circles with no escaping the cycle. When you face difficulty you don’t know where to turn to, who you can rely on, who to call and where to turn to. And yes finding healthy individuals to meet our needs of love, acceptance, and belonging are things that determine the quality of our lives and how we feel about ourselves and the world around us.
If your own family didn’t meet your needs you certainly don’t know where to turn to and who will meet your needs if the family system failed.

[toddparry]

I seems and feels true, yet most of the rest of my family are doing well.
Yet, I am constantly dealing with rejection sensitivity to a point it has caused issues in my marriage.
The threat reactions are huge. The "wide open" has really been me, until lately. I think it's more fatigue and somewhat a sense of defeat being almost 54.
Thank you so much Doc. I'm looking for things to serve my clients, yet finding extreme use for myself.
to get out of my own way 🤙🏄

[amaris]

As a codependent/SLD, what exactly would it take for me to be able to like myself when I don't think there was ever a point in my life when I had?

[darinsmith]

Wow. I really got a lot out of this. I am not sure if I am afraid of the abandonment itself or if I am afraid of the fear of abandonment. The illusion of it. Or you could say the unknown. If that makes sense?
