Today we are joined by returning guest, the QUEEN of abandonment trauma recovery,  In today's episode, we discuss the difference between the Inner Child & Outer Child, how to communicate with the Inner Child to self-sabotaging ways, and why we are attracted to the available, and how abandonment trauma leads us to be subconsciously attracted to the unavailable. Susan Anderson has devoted more than 30 years of clinical experience and research to helping people overcome abandonment trauma and its aftermath of self sabotaging patterns. Founder of the abandonment recovery movement, she reaches out through her websites, workshops, and media to share her methods of abandonment recovery with abandonment survivors from around the world. Susan is author of four trailblazing books including The Abandonment Recovery Workbook & Taming Your Outer Child: Overcoming Self-Sabotage and Healing from Abandonment.www.abandonment.net⬇️DAMN THE JOIN PATREON - ADULT CHILD HEALING C OMMUNITY⬇️https://www.patreon.com/adultchild?HELP A GIRL & CAT EAT?  www.buymeacoffee.com/adultchild?️SHITSHOW MERCH?️www.adultchildpodcast.com/shopFollow Andrea on social -www.instagram.com/adultchildpodwww.tiktok.com/@adultchildpodMid-roll music source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUEhQ48sCqU (I do not own the rights of song - for entertainment purposes only) Support the show
