The Loop: The Gift In The Rejection Wound

Core Wounds Series — The Belonging Family, Wound Two: This is the only wound with a timestamp. Someone looked at you and said no, and your nervous system treated it as being cast out of the tribe. So you stopped putting yourself forward — or you started rejecting first so nobody could beat you to it. Either way, nobody gets close. Sarah breaks down the resilience this wound forged that can't be taught, the fierce love it built that most people will never match, and why the distance you call independence is just rejection you're inflicting on yourself. Your homework: stay one beat longer than the wound wants you to. The rejection doesn't come. It almost never does.
