Introduction

Breakups are worse for those who have suffered abandonment trauma.

If you suffered abandonment, breakups trigger the survival mechanism.

The deeper the abandonment the deeper the fear of letting go and being unattached.

All of us are products of our pasts our patterns and our subconscious programs.

Relationship withdrawal feels like we are experiencing abandonment from the past.
