What is self-abandonment?
Self-abandonment refers to the pattern of consistently neglecting, dismissing, or betraying your own needs, feelings, values, and authentic self in favor of maintaining a relationship, meeting others' expectations, or avoiding conflict.
Common forms of self-abandonment include:
Emotional self-abandonment - Ignoring, suppressing, or invalidating your own feelings because they seem inconvenient or because others dismiss them. This might look like telling yourself "I shouldn't feel this way" rather than acknowledging legitimate emotions.
Boundary violations - Consistently saying yes when you want to say no, allowing others to treat you poorly, or sacrificing your time and energy beyond what feels sustainable or fair.
People-pleasing at your own expense - Molding yourself to fit what you think others want, even when it conflicts with your genuine preferences, values, or needs.
Self-criticism and negative self-talk - Being your own harshest critic, speaking to yourself in ways you'd never accept from others, or constantly second-guessing your decisions and instincts.
Neglecting self-care - Consistently putting everyone else's needs first while ignoring your own physical, emotional, or mental health needs.
The roots of self-abandonment often trace back to childhood experiences where love felt conditional on being "good," avoiding conflict, or taking care of others' emotions. People learn that their authentic selves aren't acceptable, so they develop patterns of self-betrayal as a survival mechanism.
Interrupting patterns of self-abandonment involves learning to tune back into your inner voice, honoring your feelings and needs, setting healthy boundaries, and developing self-compassion. It's about rebuilding trust with yourself and recognizing that your authentic self deserves care and respect - starting with your own.
Why follow an anti-inflammation elimination diet?
What is inflammation? When the body detects an irritant, such as a germ, foreign object, chemical, or radiation, it releases chemicals that trigger an immune response. This response involves inflammatory cells and cytokines, which trap germs or toxins and begin to heal damaged tissue. This is the amazing healing process! Chronic inflammation happens when this process does not get switched off.
Chronic inflammation can wreck havoc on our systems leading to health problems and disease. Digestive issues, skin challenges, acid reflux, moodiness, and joint pain are some examples of inflammation gone wild. Long term chronic inflammation can result in diseases of the cardiovascular system (hypertension), respiratory system (COPD), metabolic dysfunction (diabetes), neurological (Alziemers’s, Parkinson’s), autoimmune diseases (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis), and certain cancers.
While the body has natural detox pathways and is constantly detoxing itself, sometimes it can’t keep up and needs our intervention. Toxins are all around us, being absorbed through our skin, in the foods we eat, and air we breathe. This 10-day intervention will support your body in clearing out toxins through nutrition and stress management, providing a healthier inner environment.
