Ep 3: Why Do We Feel Attracted to Rejection?

Why Do We...? - A PsychAlive Podcast By PsychAlive

When we feel rejected, we often turn against ourselves, and begin to believe that the only person who can make us feel okay again is the very person who has rejected us. We may believe that getting back that person back is the only thing that will make our pain go away, but the truth is sometimes it is the rejection itself that is so compelling. To find out how this works and why this is, we’ve invited a guest to talk about her personal experience with a recent break up and what she’s learned about herself in the process. Listen in on her conversation with Dr. Lisa Firestone to discover why rejection is so alluring and how to move on from this painful phenomenon.
