Fear of abandonment

Fear of abandonment

Separation anxiety can have a deep emotional impact on your well-being and affect your daily life. Our holistic approach focuses on promoting inner balance, increasing self-love and embracing connection with yourself and others.

What is separation anxiety?

Separation anxiety is an intense and often irrational fear of losing loved ones, especially loved ones or close associates. It is a deep-seated fear of abandonment and can stem from previous negative experiences, loss, or a lack of secure attachment in childhood. Despite the fact that it seems like two opposites, fear of commitment is also often caused by fear of abandonment.
