The Abandonment Wound part 2

This isn’t random.
It feels like it is.
Different people.
Different situations.
Different endings.
But the feeling?
Always the same.
They pull away.
They get distant.
They leave.
And every time…
You’re left wondering:
“Why does this keep happening to me?”
But what if…
It’s not about them?

What if it’s the pattern?
The way you:
feel it early
fear it happening
react before it even does
Some people:
hold on tighter
overgive
try to fix it
Others:
shut down
pull away first
act like they don’t care
Different reactions…
Same fear:
“They’re going to leave anyway.”
🌿 REALIZATION:
So without realizing it…
You start reacting
to something that hasn’t even happened yet.

Abandonment Wound part 1

Why do they always leave me?
It doesn’t happen all at once.
At first… it’s small.
A message that slows down.
A shift in their energy.
Something you feel… but can’t explain.
So you tell yourself:
“It’s nothing.”
“They’re just busy.”
“I’m overthinking.”
But deep down…
You feel it.
That familiar ache.
The one that whispers:
“Here we go again…”
So you check your phone.
Re-read the messages.
Replay everything in your mind.
Trying to figure out:
What you did wrong.
What changed.
What you missed.
Because part of you believes…
There must be a reason
this keeps happening.
And even if you don’t say it out loud…
You feel it:
“Why does this always happen to me?”

(Part 3 — The Choice / Shadow Work Integration)

It didn’t change overnight…
But there was a moment
everything shifted.

No big event.
No dramatic ending.
Just a quiet realization:
“I can’t keep abandoning myself
waiting for someone else to choose me.”

So they stopped.
Stopped chasing.
Stopped proving.
Stopped shrinking
just to be accepted.
They sat with the discomfort…
The silence.
The space where validation used to be.
And instead of reaching outward…
They turned inward.

Shift (THIS IS YOUR SHADOW WORK MESSAGE):

They met the parts of themselves
they used to reject.
The insecure parts.
The emotional parts.
The parts that once felt “too much”
or “not enough.”
And instead of fixing them…
They chose them.
🔥
That was the moment it ended.
Not because others changed…
But because they did.

🔥 “I choose me.”

👉 Comment “I choose me” if this is your season

The Moment They Felt Not Chosen Part 2

It didn’t just happen once…
It followed them
through different seasons of their life.

In their younger years…
they watched others be chosen.
And quietly wondered
what they were missing.
As life went on…
it became something heavier.
Not just a moment—
but a belief.
“Maybe I’m just not the one people choose.”

So they adapted.
They gave more…
or stopped trying at all.
And over time…
It stopped feeling like rejection.
And started feeling like identity.

🔥 (leave space for Part 3):

And they carried it…
Until the moment
everything began to change.

The Moment They Felt Not Chosen

It didn’t start with them…
It started the first time
they reached…
and no one reached back.
A quiet moment.
A subtle shift.
Where something inside them asked:
“Why not me?”
And from that moment on…
They began to change
who they were
just to feel chosen.

👉 Comment “I felt this” if this moment lives in you too.

✨ Shame Wound, Femine &Masculine

They didn’t hate themselves…
They just learned to hide the parts that weren’t accepted.

It started small.
A look.
A comment.
A moment that said:
“That part of you isn’t okay.”
So they adjusted.
Got quieter.
More agreeable.
Less expressive.
They learned:
how to be liked
how to be accepted
how to not take up too much space
But underneath it all…
They were still there.
Waiting.
The real thoughts.
The real emotions.
The real self.
Awareness:
And one day…
they saw it.
Not as brokenness—
but as conditioning.
All the ways they had been shrinking
just to belong.

So they stopped fighting themselves.
They sat with it.
Breathed through it.
Moved through it.
Not to become someone new…
But to return
to who they were before the shame.

🌿
Healing didn’t happen when they became perfect.
It happened when they stopped apologizing
for being human.

👉 Comment “I’m done hiding” if you’re reclaiming yourself.

PART 3: The Man Who Learned To Feel

No one told him this part…
that strength would feel like this.

It didn’t look like control.
It didn’t feel like power.
It wasn’t shutting everything down
or pretending he was fine.
It was sitting with emotions
he used to run from.
Learning how to say:
“I’m not okay.”
Without feeling weak.
Without feeling like less of a man.
It was learning that anger
wasn’t the only emotion he was allowed to feel.
That underneath it…
was fear.
pressure.
and a need to be understood.
So he stopped running.
Stopped numbing.
Stopped pretending.
And slowly…
he became someone new.

A man who could:
feel without shutting down
communicate without exploding
stay present without escaping

And everything changed.
Not just how he felt—
but how he showed up.
🔥
He didn’t lose his strength.
He redefined it.

PART 2: The Moment It Started Breaking

He thought he had it under control…
until everything started slipping.

The anger wasn’t working anymore.
The silence wasn’t fixing anything.
And the people he cared about…
were starting to pull away.
For the first time—
he couldn’t blame them.
Not really.
So he sat in it.
No distractions.
No noise.
No escape.
Just the truth he had been avoiding:
“I don’t know how to handle what I feel.”
He wasn’t losing control…
He was losing the version of himself
that kept everything buried.
And in that uncomfortable, quiet moment—
something shifted.
Not loudly.
Not all at once.
But enough to realize:
“I can’t keep doing this the same way.”

The Masculine Shadow Wound: “I’m Not Enough”

👉 Expressed through pressure → anger → numbness → hidden pain

He didn’t know how to say he was hurting…
So he showed it in the only way he knew how.
Story:
No one ever taught him
how to talk about what he felt.
Only how to suppress it.
Handle it.
Be strong.
So when life got heavy…
he didn’t say, “I’m overwhelmed.”
He got quiet.
Or distant.
Or angry.
Because pressure doesn’t just disappear.
It builds.
In his chest.
In his mind.
In the expectations he feels he has to carry.
He wasn’t trying to push people away…
He just didn’t know how to let anyone in.
So he numbed it.
Distracted himself.
Told himself he’d deal with it later.
But underneath it all…
Was a truth he never said out loud:
“What if I’m not enough?”
Shift:
And the moment he finally faced that…
Not with anger—
but with honesty—
Everything began to change.
Closing:
He was never too much.
Never too distant.
Never too broken.
He was just a man
who was never taught
how to feel safely.

The Love That Finally Met Her There🌸

The woman she became was born in the shadows she healed through.

She didn’t find better love…
She became someone who no longer accepted less.
Story:
Before the peace…
Before the love…
Before the version of her you see now—
There was the work.
The kind no one claps for.
The kind no one sees.
She sat with the parts of herself
she used to run from.
The fear that whispered, “You’re not enough.”
The voice that said, “Don’t be too much or they’ll leave.”
She didn’t silence it.
She listened.
She faced the abandonment
she thought came from others…
And realized—
she had been leaving herself first.
So she stayed.
With the discomfort.
With the triggers.
With the truth.
She learned:
How to sit with her emotions instead of escaping them
How to choose herself without guilt
How to stop chasing what wasn’t choosing her
And slowly…
she became safe for herself.
Shift:
So when love found her again…
It didn’t feel like anxiety.
It didn’t feel like confusion.
It felt like peace.
Because this time—
she wasn’t trying to be chosen.
She already was.

The love that met her there…
Only existed
because of the woman she became
when no one was watching.

🔥 AND WE ARE LIVE WITH PART TWO ENERGY 🔥

The hardest part wasn’t leaving…
It was not going back.

This one… you can feel the strength in her nervous system.
It’s not chaos anymore—it’s control, awareness, choice.

The hardest part wasn’t leaving…
It was not going back.
The silence felt different this time.
Not heavy.
Not suffocating.
Just… unfamiliar.
She reached for her phone more than once.
Typed the message.
Read it back.
Deleted it.
Because she knew—
it wasn’t him she missed…
It was the version of herself
who was still hoping he’d change.
Her fingers hovered.
Her heart whispered, “Just one more time…”
But something deeper spoke louder:
“We’ve already been here before.”
So she put the phone down.
Not out of anger…
but out of respect.
For herself.
For her growth.
For the woman she’s becoming.
This time, she didn’t go back.
And that…
was the moment she truly set herself free.

👉 Be honest… have you ever almost gone back?

She smiled while she stirred the pan,
pretending everything was okay…
even though her chest felt heavy.
He was right there—
but not really with her.
Every word she spoke felt like it fell
into a room that echoed back nothing.
So she tried harder.
Loved deeper.
Stayed quieter.
Until one night…
the silence got louder than her excuses.
And there it was—
not in his actions…
but in her reflection.
The truth she couldn’t unsee:
She had been abandoning herself
just to keep someone else comfortable.

And in that moment… everything changed.
Not loudly.
Not dramatically.
Just a quiet decision:
“I deserve to feel chosen too.”

Comment “I choose me” if you’re stepping into your power.
