Changing How We Treat Abandonment Trauma
Our basic assumptions about abandonment trauma have taken us far – but emerging findings suggest there’s much more to the story.
We’ve long associated abandonment with more overt experiences (loss, abuse, disruptions in caregiving). But we may be overlooking more subtle childhood experiences that leave a similar imprint.
What’s more, we now better understand how abandonment shapes the brain, nervous system and emotional networks – and that can help us craft more targeted interventions.
And while the link between abandonment and borderline personality disorder (BPD) has long been recognized, newer findings are offering us more useful (and compassionate) ways to treat BPD.
What we now know gives a clearer direction for how to intervene when the fear of abandonment rules a client’s life.
So we brought together some of the leading researchers and clinicians – and what they’ll share could change the way you work with abandonment trauma.
