How My Abandonment Wound Impacted My Finances & Business
There’s a profoundly personal journey behind each financial decision we make, a narrative woven from the threads of our past experiences and deepest fears.
For years, my financial life and business were unconsciously dictated by an abandonment wound that rooted itself deep within my psyche during my early years.
This wound manifested as a perpetual fear of loss—of clients, opportunities, and security—leading to behaviors that stifled my business's growth and my own financial freedom.
The abandonment wound influenced my business decisions and financial strategies in ways I couldn’t initially see. I would overcommit to work, fearing that anything less would drive my clients away. I undervalued my services, believing that a lower price was the only way to keep competition at bay and prevent clients from leaving.
An abandonment wound stems from experiences of being left alone, unsupported, or neglected, typically during childhood. This wound can manifest in adults as fears of rejection, a need for constant reassurance, or difficulties in trusting others — all of which can profoundly impact one's professional and financial life.
The Impact on My Business and Finances
For years, I didn't realize that my fear of abandonment was affecting how I managed my business and finances. Here are a few ways it manifested:
- Overcommitting to Work: I found myself working excessive hours, driven by a deep-seated fear that if I didn’t, my clients or projects would leave or fail. This led to burnout and diminished the quality of my work.
- Difficulty in Saying No: The fear of disappointing others or being rejected for not meeting demands meant I often struggled to set healthy boundaries. This not only placed me under tremendous stress but also strained my financial resources.
- Undercharging for Services: Linked to a fear of rejection, I often underpriced my services. I feared that charging what I was truly worth would lead clients to abandon me for cheaper alternatives.
- Hesitance to Invest in My Business: My abandonment issues made me overly cautious about investing in new opportunities. I was scared of being 'left high and dry' if these investments didn't pan out.
It was only when I began using the Hypnotic Financial Tools within the Hypnotic Wealth Bundle that I realized the power of addressing these subconscious fears directly. These tools weren't just strategies; they were gateways to understanding and transforming my relationship with money at its core.
- Hypnotic Journal Prompts: These prompts guided me to confront uncomfortable truths about my financial fears. Writing became a form of therapy, revealing how much of my business operations were swayed by fear of abandonment.
- Financial Self-Hypnosis Scripts: These scripts helped reprogram my subconscious, teaching it to associate financial decisions with positivity and abundance, rather than fear and scarcity.
- Hypnotic Affirmations: Daily affirmations reinforced my worth and the value of my work, gradually replacing the fear of abandonment with a belief in my ability to attract and maintain wealth.
- Hypno-Breathwork Exercises: Whenever anxiety about losing a client or making a big investment surfaced, these exercises helped calm my physiological response, allowing me to approach decisions with clarity and not from a place of panic.
- Hypnotic EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques): Tapping provided a physical release for the emotional buildup of years, helping dissolve the layers of fear that had accumulated around my financial life.
Reclaiming My Financial Power
Through consistent use of these tools, the shift was profound. I no longer see my business through the lens of who I might lose but through the potential of what I can gain and create. My pricing now reflects the value I provide, not the fear of being left. Investments are opportunities for growth, not risks of abandonment.
