Self-Abandonment and Making Space for Yourself

For our final episode of pride month, I’m talking abut how we can take up space and claim membership in communities even when we don’t feel welcome, and how self-abandonment relates to that. Without getting technical or into psychology jargon, the first step is to stop abandoning ourselves.

I begin by defining and talking about self-abandonment, then discuss more broadly how to take up space or make space for yourself, even when you’re a community of one. I hope that this episode helps you feel less alone and perhaps helps you to see that you matter, you are not alone, and you are a member of the community.

I’d love to hear from you. Reach out and contact me. Let me know how you fit in with my work and what you’d like to chat about. I’m happy to bring in new voices and perspectives, but just so you’re aware, I won’t promote anyone who is selling quick fixes, trying to exploit the communities I’m a part of, or who outright dismisses the work I’m doing. I’m a firm believer we have to stop putting silos around things and understand the glorious interplay between such things as our mental health, our well-being, living authentic and embodied, as well as some of the harms caused by a psychology practice that has for too long been centered in a cis, white, neurotypical, heterosexual frame.
