In this solo episode, Gemma explores one of the most foundational concepts when it comes to healing relationship patterns—the abandonment schema.

Whether you're currently dating or in a long-term relationship, understanding your own abandonment schema and how it influences your emotions, choices, and reactions is essential for cultivating emotional safety and secure connection.

Gemma explains:

  • What the abandonment schema is and how it develops
  • How it shows up in dating and relationships (from clingy overcompensation to total avoidance)
  • The 3 common coping styles triggered by this schema—and how they quietly sabotage your love life
  • Why working with your vulnerable child mode is key to healing the abandonment wound
  • 3 powerful reparenting practices to begin calming your inner alarm system and making more grounded, self-honoring choices in love
