This revealing clip delves into the anxieties that plague many in relationships: the fear of abandonment.

Explore how past traumas, particularly from childhood, can manifest as deep-seated insecurities in adult relationships. Hear from Goalie, who shares her struggles with the fear of being abandoned by her partner, Sam.

Through open and honest conversation, we uncover how these fears stem from past experiences of inconsistent love and support. We'll discuss how these past experiences can lead to a distorted perception of current relationships, causing individuals to misinterpret their partner's emotions as signs of impending rejection.

This clip offers valuable insights into:

????Understanding the roots of abandonment anxiety.
????Recognizing and challenging negative thought patterns.
????Building trust and intimacy in relationships.
????Finding healthy ways to cope with anxieties.
