Why REJECTION Hurts So Much - How to Heal the Fear Beneath It

Sep 15, 2021 • S02 E22 • 00:16:41

Shelley talks about how the fear of rejection and abandonment can drive relationship struggles, feelings of isolation, and comfort eating.

You’ll understand how experiences of insecure attachment and trauma can come back to affect you later, especially when you’re stressed or going through changes, and why your body reacts to feeling rejected as if it’s a serious danger.

From people-pleasing to overeating, Shelley explains how these deep fears shape our choices, and offers ways to feel safe and trust ourselves again, with somatic and self-regulation strategies.

You’ll also hear a moving personal story of healing through staying with the physical sensations of abandonment, showing how self-awareness and body-based practices can transform emotional pain into resilience. 

You’ll also hear a touching story about healing from feeling abandoned, showing that staying with the physical sensations of abandonment, and listening to our bodies can change our emotional pain into strength.

If you ever felt desperate to keep a relationship, scared of being alone, or have eaten to feel better when lonely, this episode will help you understand what’s really been going on and how to start healing.

Listen to learn: 

  • Why fear of rejection feels so intense in our bodies
  • How childhood abandonment affects us as adults
  • Ways to cope with feeling rejected
  • The connection between eating for comfort and not having our emotional needs met.
