What if the way you've been showing up in relationships wasn't your fault but it was your responsibility to change? In this powerful case study, Shawn, a men-ber of the Healthy Men-tality program, shares how his fear of abandonment and ADHD led to intense relationship dynamics, shame, and people-pleasing. But through the program, he started healing the root issues… not just the surface symptoms. Inside this episode, we explore: What fear of abandonment really looks like in relationships How ADHD masked as "laziness" and shaped his beliefs about worth Why breathwork changed everything—even though he thought it was BS The difference between shame and accountability How showing up with integrity shifted how he dates now Why he's no longer future-faking or seeking validation Whether you've been called "too much" in love, struggle to stay present, or overthink your way out of connection… this episode is a must-listen!
