Have you ever held back from sharing your feelings or ideas, just to avoid being rejected?

Most people do. 

Fear of rejection is one of the most common emotional blocks, and it often forms early in life from our first experience of feeling unsafe being ourselves.

In this episode of The Healing Paradox, we talk about:

  • Why this fear shows up (and what it's really trying to protect)
  • A simple way to help you see rejection differently
  • A calming, practical tool you can use this week
  • A journaling prompt to help you notice where you're holding back

This isn’t about “pushing through.”

It’s about calling it out, being more compassionate with yourself, and learning to show up without shame.
