80: Why Does Disappointment Hurt So Much? How to Navigate Feeling Disappointed


Listen Later

In this episode, I discuss why disappointment hurts so much and why it can feel like failure or a punishment. I answer a question from a listener who is having difficulty navigating a disappointing year that has them feeling down and defeated. We will learn how disappointment is often our psyche’s way of telling us that we have unrealistic expectations or that we are attached to a future outcome rather than living in the present. My intention for this episode is to help you in understanding that although disappointment can really hurt, it’s not a punishment or a bad thing and that it is actually an opportunity to get honest with yourself and realign your life to the present moment.
