Reflections and insights on counselling and wellbeing
About this blog
This space is for reflections on counselling, emotional wellbeing and the experiences that can shape how we feel and relate to ourselves and others.
The blog is written for people who may be considering counselling, already in therapy, or simply interested in understanding themselves a little more. Some posts explore themes that often come up in counselling, while others reflect on everyday experiences that can affect our emotional wellbeing.
Writing here is not intended as advice or a replacement for counselling. Instead, these reflections are offered as gentle thinking points – something to read slowly, return to, or take a small part from if it feels helpful.
Why does rejection hurt so much?
Rejection is a universal human experience that most of us go through at some point in our lives. Rejection itself is neutral, but we keep taking it personally because we have an intense primitive desire to be liked. Feeling rejected is a commonly painful experience that we may inevitably have to deal with; whether it be a romantic rejection, job rejection, friendship breakup or estrangement from family members, rejection can have multitude of emotional and psychological consequences.
