Reclaiming the Abandoned Self Across GenerationsBy Jyee ByrneRecorded Track

About this audiobook

Emotional abandonment does not always look like neglect. Sometimes it looks like a parent who was physically present but emotionally unreachable. Sometimes it looks like silence where reassurance should have been. Left Behind explores how emotional absence in childhood shapes the adults, parents, and leaders people become, and how the survival systems built to cope back then are still running the show now. Moving from personal healing through to family legacy, educational systems, workplaces, and culture, this book maps the full ripple of emotional abandonment and offers a framework for repair. Not perfection. Repair. For anyone ready to stop repeating what shaped them and start building something different for the next generation.
