Summary
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by fear of abandonment?
To cope with fear of abandonment, one should focus on self-soothing, slowing down emotional investment, and gathering data on people to determine whether or not a relationship is worth the investment.
Doing this can reduce fear of abandonment as it creates a relationship built on reality and data.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. How can we overcome the fear of abandonment?
2. What is the link between abandonment and survival mode?
3. How can we become intentional investors of our emotional energy?

Dr. Morgan Quote from Today’s Episode:
"You can always, always change your life. You can always welcome in healthy, great relationships. This is not something that's only available to people who look a certain way, or have had a certain childhood or have certain things going for them. Healthy, great relationships are available to everyone and are attainable for everyone, so long as you do the healing work to let go of the barriers, to remove the things that have gotten in the way, to release the old ways of being that no longer serve you.”
