Self-Care and Healing the Hurt of Rejection. Artwork

Dr. L.'s Healthy Practices' Podcast

This podcast covers a variety of information concerning healthy practices, including, but not limited to mental health, physical health, self-improvement and personal development. While I will, at times, be the main speaker on the podcast, most of the time the narrator on the podcast will be a team member from my parent organization - StressHealth Solutions International (or SHSI). That said, I am referring to the structure of the podcast as more of a "Narrative Podcast." For the most past, the podcast will consist mainly of a narrative introduced and presented by one of the team members at SHSI, and it will not have or follow the more traditional format of one-on-one interviews. The decision was made by the team that this format allows for greater and more frequent coverage of a variety of health and health related information. You can listen to both present and past podcasts by visiting our website at: drlhealthypracticespodcast.buzzsprout.com. Also, if there is an interest in learning more about informational activities associated with Stress Health Solutions International, please visit our parent website at: StressHealthSolutions.com. As a very important disclaimer, please note that the primary purpose of this podcast is to provide general educational information on health and related subjects. The podcast does not constitute advice or services and all listeners should consult with their medical and other qualified personnel for advice concerning medical and medical related actions and services as needed. Thanks, Dr. Livingston (Dr.L.)

Self-Care and Healing the Hurt of Rejection.

Education on what to do in case you are feeling rejected is important for maintaining emotional health. Rejection can be viewed as a type of wound. It is precisely this reason why it is essential to apply the concept of ‘Emotional First Aid’ in dealing with the hurt of rejection.

Emotional First Aid.

The idea behind emotional first aid is to act in terms of self-care, self-love, and wellbeing in response to out-casting or rejection. Unfortunately, the idea of Emotional First Aid is not as common as it could and should be. People are often unaware that they need to pay more attention to their emotional health.

Unlike when they cut themselves, and the wound is cleaned and covered, people often are too paralyzed by the pain to counteract the emotional damage caused by rejection.
