What causes abandonment issues?

Abandonment issues typically develop from early experiences where primary caregivers were inconsistent, unavailable, or absent. These create internalized beliefs: 'I am not enough,' 'People always leave.' In adulthood this manifests as hypervigilance to rejection, difficulty trusting, or self-sabotage in relationships. Healing requires building self-trust and experiencing consistent, safe relationships. Lovon offers a reliable, always-available presence — a small but meaningful experience of consistency while you do that deeper work.
