INNER CHILD WORK: Therapist Tools for Managing Rejection


Listen Later

Supporting Your Inner Child Through Rejection

Rejection can hit deeper than we expect - whether it’s a major life moment or the subtle, everyday kind. If you’ve ever felt disproportionately triggered, shut down, or emotionally overwhelmed by rejection, it may be your inner child asking for care and attention.


In this episode, we explore how experiences of rejection can activate old wounds and why your inner child might feel unsafe, unseen, or unworthy in those moments. This conversation is for anyone doing inner work, self-healing, or exploring inner child practices and wanting practical ways to respond with compassion instead of self-criticism.


I’ll guide you through three powerful techniques you can use when rejection arises - these are simple yet supportive tools to help you reconnect, regulate, and create a sense of inner safety.

The third technqiue is inspired by self-compassion therapy and can be especially effective in shifting how you react.

If you’re ready to meet yourself with more kindness, soften your triggers, and build a more secure relationship within, this episode will give you grounding, actionable support.

Tune in to learn how to turn moments of rejection into opportunities for healing, connection, and self-trust.


Note: If inner child work ever feels overwhelming or 'too much'. Take a break, and feel free to do this with me during Single Session Therapy.
