170:

You’re keeping your partner at arm’s length.

Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Looking for proof they’ll leave.

It’s not them. It’s your fear of rejection putting a force field around you that love can’t get through.

In this episode, Lilly breaks down the fear of rejection, why it shows up in relationships, and how it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. She walks you through the difference between real fear (evidence in THIS relationship) and imagined fear (ghosts from your past), and gives you a powerful reframe for building self-trust.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What the fear of rejection actually includes (fear of judgment, abandonment, not being good enough)

• Why this fear starts in childhood and shows up in your adult relationships

• How your brain looks for proof of what you already believe (and creates self-sabotage)

• Why keeping someone at arm’s length guarantees they’ll eventually leave

• The difference between real fear and imagined fear (and how to tell which one you’re dealing with)

• How to know if your fear is based on evidence in THIS relationship or trauma from the past

• Why “I am worthy of love” doesn’t work (and what to say instead)
