Healing Abandonment with Susan Anderson

Are you in heartbreak? Does insecurity cause you to sabotage your relationships?

"How do I survive the holidays alone?" is a question we ask ourselves as the season approaches. Many people must face the holiday season alone, bereft of that special someone.

Victims of abandonment trauma are often emotionally anorexic. When people attempt to give them love, they can't seem to take it in. They would rather remain in a state of emotional starvation rather than risk abandonment – their greatest fear.

Susan Anderson gets frequent requests for individual psychotherapy from people visiting her website or reading her abandonment books. Due to scheduling issues, Susan can give only occasional one-on-one abandonment consultations to new folks.

Is it possible to feel a genuine belonging with someone who sees all of you? Is it possible to come into a relationship and not feel burdened by the needs of others? Is it possible to care deeply about another person's experience, and not (by default)...

When someone rejects you they acquire power in your mind. They acquire power due to their ability to inflict pain. The more they hurt you the harder it is to let go. This is the painful paradox of abandonment.

Just as we manage to make it through the winter holidays, here come the bright red hearts of Valentine's Day, and it can be bittersweet.

Reverse the Universal Wound of Abandonment at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, Stockbridge, MA, from March 28 - 30 2025.

You mean I have to make a choice? Yes, usually. So many of us have dreams, hopes, and goals but we keep going in circles instead of taking productive steps toward achieving them. As time goes on, they seem to slip further and further into the distance.
