💛 This is so beautifully written......
💛 Talking about feelings and emotions are not woo woo or therapy stuff, it is real, honest and at the core of every interaction.
💛 Learning and practicing skills in emotional regulation has the power to improve systems at all levels.
💛 Start at home, start with how you talk to your kids, start with paying attention to how you talk to yourself, start reading or listening, start being curious with yourself (your behaviours, your triggers, your discomfort), start somewhere....

💛 Nice starting point is reading, 'Permission to Feel' - by .brackett. And he has a podcast.

When we say we feel “rejected,” we may actually be feeling:

Dismissed — like our voice or needs don’t matter.

Unwanted — like someone has withdrawn love or attention.

Invisible — like no one truly sees or values us.

Betrayed — Feeling hurt because trust was broken or loyalty wasn't returned.

Abandoned — like we’ve been left behind emotionally or physically.

Naming these underlying feelings helps us move from a vague sense of pain to a clearer understanding of what’s really happening inside. It transforms rejection from something that defines us into something that guides us, back toward our needs, our boundaries, and our capacity to self-soothe.

Rejection hurts because it disconnects us.
Healing begins when we reconnect, with our truth, our emotions, and the parts of us that still long to feel seen and loved.

TRY THIS: Reflective Prompts for Healing Rejection

“When I say I feel rejected, what am I truly feeling beneath that?”

Take a moment to slow down and name what’s really happening inside.
Is it loneliness, sadness, disappointment, or a sense of being unseen?
Giving language to your emotion helps you meet it with understanding rather than shame.

💛 What is it that you need, that you are not asking for?
