The podcast episodes on 'The Fawn Response' (The Fawn Response: People Pleasing, Self-Abandonment, and Standing Up for Yourself) and 'Repairing Self-Abandonment' (Repairing Self-Abandonment: Anxious Attachment, Healthy Boundaries, and Creating Strong Relationships) explore the concept of self-abandonment in depth.

The episodes discuss how self-abandonment manifests through behaviors like people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, chronic self-sacrifice, and a tendency to reference oneself in relation to others rather than from an internal locus of self-worth. They also cover the roots of self-abandonment in factors like childhood experiences, shame, and anxious attachment styles.

The episodes provide practical strategies for developing self-acceptance, healthy boundaries, and a stronger sense of one's authentic self in order to overcome self-abandonment.
