Eventually that cycle can lead us to absorb
the basic fears of abandonment and rejection, the opposite of the sure connection we so badly need.That's where Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy can be a great help.
But if you are denied these
basic comforts early in life, whether through a lack
of physical affection or emotional bonding, you may develop intense
fears of abandonment that can last well into adulthood —
fears so powerful that they can actually cause you to push people away.
