Love Me, Don't Leave Me: Overcoming Fear of Abandonment and Building Lasting, Loving Relationships

<div>Everyone thrives on love, comfort, and the safety of family, friends, andÂ community. But if you are denied these basic comforts early in life, whether through a lack of physical affection or emotional bonding, you may develop intense fears of abandonment that can last well into adulthoodâ€”fears so powerful that they can actually cause you to push people away.<div>Â </div><div>If you suffer from fears of abandonment, you may have underlying feelings of anger, shame, fear, anxiety, depression, and grief. These emotions are intense and painful, and when they surface they can lead to a number of negative behaviors, such as jealousy, clinging, and emotional blackmail. In <em>Love Me, Donâ€™t Leave Me</em>, therapist Michelle Skeen combines acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), schema therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to help you identify the root of your fears.</div><div>Â </div><div>In this book youâ€™ll learn how schema coping behaviorsâ€”deeply entrenched and automatic behaviors rooted in childhood experiences and fearsâ€”can take over and cause you to inadvertently sabotage your relationships. By recognizing these coping behaviors and understanding their cause, you will not only gain powerful insights into your own mind, but also into the minds of those around you.</div><div>Â </div><div>If you are ready to break the self-fulfilling cycle of mistrust, clinginess, and heartbreak and start building lasting, trusting relationships, this book will be your guide.</div></div>
