I Thought I Was Being Loving. I Was Actually Abandoning Myself

For most of my life, I believed my worth came from taking care of everyone else. I put other people’s needs first and my own needs last. I thought that was love. I thought that was who I was. What I’m learning now is that it was actually a trauma response. Somewhere along the way, I abandoned myself. This season of healing has been about remembering who I am beneath the survival strategies, the people-pleasing, and the need to earn love through sacrifice. It’s exciting. It’s terrifying. It’s uncomfortable. And it’s incredibly liberating. In today’s video, I’m sharing some thoughts about self-abandonment, identity, healing, and what it feels like to finally start choosing yourself. If you’ve ever struggled with putting everyone else first, I hope this resonates with you. ❤️ #magicmoon #HealingJourney #TraumaRecovery #SelfWorth
