Have you ever reread a text wondering what it really meant? Or felt crushed by a small comment that stuck with you all day? If you’ve ever asked, “Why am I so sensitive?”—this episode is for you.
In this episode, Dr. Britt unpacks rejection sensitivity not as a personal flaw, but as a protective strategy shaped by past experiences. Drawing from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, NLP, AEDP, and biblical truth, she explores how rejection sensitivity shows up, why it hurts so much, and—most importantly—how to heal.
You’ll learn how rejection sensitivity can be traced to early attachment injuries, how it affects your brain and body, and the emotional patterns it creates. Most of all, you’ll learn powerful tools to return to emotional freedom, deepen your relationships, and rewire the internal narrative for good.
