COURSE
Healing The Habit Of Self-Abandonment
With Kiran Patel
In this course, we explore how we may have learned in our early years to abandon ourselves to create connection and safety with others. How habits of people pleasing and over-giving can carry over into adulthood, and how we can neglect our own needs because we have not learned how to tend to them. Here we turn inward and return our attention to ourselves.

I found this incredibly insightful. I’ll be adding this to my daily check in with myself. I want to create that bond of trust. I want to listen and honor what my inner child is requesting. I’m realizing that they are usually basic needs. Needs I would instantly honor if someone asked of me. Thank you for creating this!

A beautifully rendered teaching on the importance of making self-connection a priority. For those of us who have spent part of a lifetime more concerned about meeting the needs of others over oneself, it is a shift that is central to finding peace and clarity with our own needs first. Thank you Kirin for highlighting the need for self-connection and self-care in order to enjoy this one precious life we are given.💗🙏🏼

Thank you Kiran for this short but wonderful course that felt like a loving and caring parent giving me permission to attend to my needs first. In your articulate way you made it easy to understand that although we might not have received what we needed earlier we can gently give ourselves what we need now. This is well worth listening to again. Namaste🙏💕

Would have liked it to be longer and go deeper. I feel like it was useful but could have been so much more helpful than it currently is.
