Self-Abandonment: How Childhood Trauma Makes You Lose Yourself | Dr. Rachna Buxani

One of the greatest psychological harms isn't rebellion it's *self-abandonment*.

 

Many children raised in controlling or emotionally unhealthy families learn to suppress their thoughts, emotions, and identity in order to gain love, approval, or avoid conflict. Over time, they disconnect from who they truly are, believing that pleasing others is the only way to feel safe. But abandoning yourself is never the price of healthy love.

 

Healing begins when you recognize these patterns, reclaim your voice, and give yourself permission to live authentically.
