#2: What To Do When Your Partner Rejects You In Bed

What do you do when your partner rejects you in bed? It can really hurt and put you into a shame and trigger spiral, so in this episode I give practical advice on how to manage your own response, how to not take it personally, and a completely unexpected tool that will flip how you see, "rejection", on it's head. I cover: When you pluck up the courage to ask and then they turn you down Why rejection hurts, it's ok for it to hurt, and if you have Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) Getting the balance between honouring how you feel and also managing your reaction When you swallow your feelings in the moment and then triggered a pointless fight the next day Why in relationships the stakes are high Why you need to thank them for setting a boundary with you The "Yes, No, Maybe" exercise I learned in concious sexuality and tantra Why your partner saying, "no", is actually a gift to you Why their "rejection" is not always to do with you, they just don't have capacity Get clearer on what the, "no", was- was it a, "No, never ever"? Or a, "Not now"? What are you making this, "rejection", mean? Why your reaction is probably about something much older Take responsibility of this core wound Get clear about how important this is to you Why you need to own and honour the needs you have too When you need to seek help from a coach or therapist "It doesn't matter how mature you are, how much therapy and coaching you've had it does not matter. When our sore points get hit, we can all act like petty children." Want to connect more?
