Diffusing Rejection
With Shannon MoyerRejection, as an emotion, is the feeling of being dismissed, unheard, or refused. For those who are sensitive to rejection, it can manifest into feelings of unworthiness, self-gaslighting, people-pleasing, guilt, and shame. Through this course, we will work through these feelings while exploring techniques such as journalling, meditation, challenging intrusive thoughts, and extending compassion to ourselves. Rejection, and the emotions it reveals, is not a character flaw and it does not make you unworthy. Lean in, listen, offer yourself love and grace, rationalize with yourself, and diffuse rejection.
Simple strategies for those who internalize rejection.
