BOUNCING BACK FROM REJECTION

This groundbreaking book helps readers understand and overcome struggles with rejection by gaining a deeper understanding of their attachment style.

Many people have a fear of rejection—but for some, this fear is crippling, and can greatly interfere with everyday life. Based in attachment theory, this groundbreaking guide helps readers understand the root cause of their fears, and offers skills to help them foster compassionate self-awareness and resilience. Using the theory of attachment, and the five domains of awareness: Sensations, Thoughts, Emotions, Actions, and Mentalizing (STEAM), readers will learn to relate to themselves and to others in more positive ways. This isn't a book that promises to protect readers from future rejection. But readers will learn the skills needed to bounce back, even when life throws a curveball.
