Fear of abandonment can feel overwhelming, creating cycles of anxiety, insecurity, and protest behaviors that strain relationships and erode self-worth. Many people who carry this fear also carry shame — believing they are “too much” or “not enough.” But healing is possible.
This carefully designed 8-week guided program (delivered as a beautifully formatted PDF) draws on evidence-based approaches including attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and somatic (body-based) practices. It has been thoughtfully structured to address fear of abandonment as the complex, deeply human experience that it is.
Each week includes:
🌿 Opening Grounding – to help you arrive and settle.
🌿 Exploration – reflective questions with options for journaling, quiet thought, or “mind movies.”
🌿 Guided Practice – exercises to reframe thoughts, soothe emotions, and build secure connections.
🌿 Somatic Practice – body-based tools to calm anxiety and release tension.
🌿 Calmness Close – simple techniques to end each session feeling grounded and safe.
Over 8 weeks, you will:
Map and understand your abandonment fears.
Learn to stabilise overwhelming emotions.
Recognise protest behaviours and replace them with healthier responses.
Offer comfort and healing to your inner child.
Build secure self-connection and trust.
Strengthen your ability to mentalize and reframe assumptions.
Practice healthy dependency and balanced closeness.
Create a personal recovery plan for ongoing growth.
This program is the result of careful integration of multiple therapeutic methods, designed to meet the fear of abandonment on every level: mind, body, and heart. It is not a quick fix, but a supportive companion that walks with you week by week, offering both insight and practical tools.
By the end of this journey, you will have not only greater awareness but also a set of practices you can return to whenever fear arises, helping you feel steadier, more secure, and more confident in your worth.
