119 - Being needy in love / the fear of abandonment
10/09/23 • 50 min
Do you need people close to feel safe? Do you think they might always leave? They’re probably not going to stay. If these statements are relatable, this episode is for you. Today, Louise and Stephanie discuss the abandonment wound, how you can have the wound *without* being abandoned and how it can drive us to overcompensate, cling, and pull others closer.
The pair talk about the concept of ‘overcompensating’ to the abandonment wound, as well as:
- The neurobiological roots of abandonment
- The roots of clingy behavior and over giving
- The concept of pulling and keeping people close
- The subconscious patterns at play, as well as repeating cycles
- Why if it's hysterical, it's often historical
- And more
This is a critical episode to help you understand how your abandonment wound shows up in your life, and how you can start to work to heal it. Understanding & conscious awareness is the first step in the healing journey.

118 - Spiritual Awakening: The path to beating addiction?
Are drugs the ‘problem’ in your life or are your mind, body and soul actually treating them as the (self-sabotaging) *solution*?
From a ‘normal’ childhood and life at an all-girls private school, life took a 180-degree turn when, 15 years later, Charlotte Jackson found herself in the midst of a relationship breakdown, a four-year crystal meth addiction, and an abusive relationship. Today, Charlotte Jackson shares her journey of how she overcame drugs and alcohol, completely on her own, without rehab, on the other side of the world. She also delves into how understanding the pain, disconnection, and loneliness beneath the addiction helped her uncover the truth. Through self-connection, self-awareness, and a touch of spiritual awakening, Charlotte conquered her four-year crystal meth addiction and is now assisting others in discovering the truth of their own reality.
Today, Louise & Charlotte discuss:
- How Charlotte’s strong anti-drug stance slowly changed
- Whether her childhood and teenage years held any clues that this journey might have lain ahead
- Her position in the family as the ‘responsible’ eldest child
- Working out the real wounds, patterns and cycles behind any addiction
- Whether loneliness is the real driver of trauma and addiction
- How a spiritual awakening and belief in a higher power helped this journey;
- How healing has changed her relationship with her family, and herself; and
- How to help others who are in this situation too.

120 - Self-sabotaging love + the fear of abandonment
Not everyone "clings" to people to prevent people leaving. Some people surrender to the abandonment wound and engage, repeatedly, with people who ‘always leave’. Others will avoid intimacy totally, so as not to get hurt, and others will punish people when they let us down or try to leave us.
Today, in part 2 of the OPENHOUSE Abandonment Wound Series, Louise & Stephanie explore:
- The concept of surrendering to the abandonment wound.
- The connection between the abandonment wound and the father wound.
- The hope associated with surrendering to both the father wound and the abandonment wound.
- How the abandonment wound can manifest as a self-fulfilling prophecy.
- The link between low self-worth and the abandonment wound.
- Counterattack: Why we engage in self-sabotage and punish others when they withdraw.
- Avoidance of intimacy: Exploring why some people steer clear of closeness to avoid the fear of abandonment.
