Understanding The Pain Of Rejection And How To Deal With It

The pain of rejection is not only caused by us being disliked or ignored by others, it is also felt when we are mistreated by people we love or when our contributions are not appreciated as we would like for example at work. The pain caused by rejection is very intense because it sends the message that others do not find us valuable enough. During this talk, I explain the basis of rejection, its function and present 5 science-based strategies that can help us to deal with it.

Yes!! This was super helpful! Thank you. 🙏

Good clear advice.

I came back from a dance last night feeling rejected and this teaching reminded me of the wisdom behind rejection and what to do to build up my capacity to hold it and help sooth that part of me which feels it.

Thank you for the talk.
Every time we overcome a challenge, whether that takes minutes, days, months, a year, or even years, we become emotionally stronger and more resilient. That's motivation and reason to keep going.

Really useful and helpful talk, with strategies for dealing with these challenging feelings. I will do this again. Thank you for this gift.
