HHW Therapists 30 - Managing Disappointment & Perceived Rejection as an Entrepreneur (with RSD)

In this episode, Amanda unpacks the emotional realities of rejection, disappointment, and rejection sensitive dysphoria in entrepreneurship, especially for therapists who are used to being high achievers and helpers. She shares personal stories from launching her coaching business, navigating fears of failure and visibility, and the ways trauma, perfectionism, and nervous system activation can make business setbacks feel deeply personal. Amanda also explores how therapists can stop interpreting rejection as proof they are "not cut out" for entrepreneurship, and instead learn to regulate, reframe, and continue showing up even when things feel uncertain.
