If you're a highly sensitive person, you know how painful perceived or actual rejection is - it sucks! In this episode of the podcast SelfKind (a podcast for highly sensitive people) we'll talk about why it's so painful as well as some gentle, effective strategies for handling it when it happens.
You'll hear:
- why rejection (whether perceived or actual) is so painful
- why it's important that you acknowledge the pain of rejection, rather than just trying to chase it away
- the reason rumination is so common after rejection
- the role of self-compassion to self-soothe
- the power of acknowledging alternative stories
- why having strategies to get space from your thoughts is so important
- why depth of connection is both vulnerable and deeply needed among highly sensitive people.
Rejection is painful. And yet we're faced with feelings of rejection as humans, so let's explore how to handle it with kindness, compassion and curiosity.
