fear of abandonment and the mother wound in fairy tales

Absent parenting leaves us with lifelong emotional scars. Join me as we listen to some lovely calming medieval vibes while we discuss how we can heal from childhood neglect and abandonment through the exploration of myths and fairy tales. Later in the episode, I read an excerpt from a recent book that inspired me to rethink the burdens and resentments I’ve been carrying with me up until this point in my life. It is my hope that it can inspire you, too.TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - 3:56: Intro3:56 - 50:13: Fear of Abandonment - Mothers in Fairy Tales50:18: Preview of this week’s Premium Submarine Episode, “SWSMH 18: smash the peace button”BFTB BONUS: SWSMH #18 (preview): “Smash the Peace Button”RESOURCES: ·     The Fear of Abandonment: Missing Mothers and Fairy Tales (article by Dale M.
