In this episode of Relearn Relationships, we explore the fear of rejection and how it impacts your relationships. Lilly dives into the roots of this fear, stemming from childhood experiences, and examines how it manifests as self-sabotaging behaviors like keeping others at arm's length or constantly seeking validation. You'll learn to distinguish between real and imagined fears, break the cycle of self-rejection, and open yourself up to love and connection.
Action Steps:
Reflect on whether your fears are real or imagined.
Begin a meditation practice to ground yourself in the present moment.
Consider booking a Walk and Talk session with Lilly for personalized support in addressing the root causes of your fear.
