The Power of No – Rejection as Therapy

‘Losing’, ‘failing’, ‘being dumped’- these are all experiences of rejection that can hit us hard and make us feel dejected, de-motivated and at worst, cripple our self esteem.

Rejection, however, can also be a fundamental element for growth, and even something to get excited by!

Guest speaker: Neil Morbey

Neil Morbey is a Mindfulness Coach and Counsellor at Positively-Mindful – helping people to find inner peace through learning skills of meditation, mindfulness and compassionate self enquiry. He believes that the unavoidable human experience of rejection can be reframed to help us, across dating, relationships, work and business.

When we hear a ‘no’ we can learn to respond with gratitude, curiosity and challenge – a process reflecting a growing awareness of ‘Rejection Therapy’. Learning to embrace hearing someone’s honest answer, even if it is not what we thought we wanted to hear, promises to help desensitize us from pain, learn to negotiate under pressure, open up new life opportunities and gain a positive attitude toward ourselves and humanity – plus, apparently, it’s tons of fun!
