182. Why We’re So Afraid of Disappointment (Weight Loss & Relationships)

No one likes to feel disappointed, but when you’ve gone through emotional abuse, that fear and avoidance is even stronger.  Growing up, you learned the only way you could have value as a person was by pleasing others and essentially preventing them from experiencing a negative emotion.  So if someone was disappointed in you, that was your fault, and thus, your responsibility to “fix.”  I also think of disappointment as a gateway emotion to things like: shame, guilt, regret, inadequacy, etc.  Disappointment isn’t that big or heavy of an emotion; it’s what you make that disappointment (or failure, or missed expectation) mean about you.  Keep listening as we dive further into this concept and how it impacts our ability to set goals, to believe in ourselves, to believe new things about ourselves, and fully heal from trauma and abuse.  Join me this Saturday, January 3rd for an all new workshop From Survival to Desire: Crafting Your Future Vision This is not about goal-setting.
