Regret, Rejection, and Resilience

Anxiety often shows up when we are standing in front of a decision or when a lived experience feels like it might repeat itself. In these moments, the mind begins scanning for threat, danger, and risk.

• What if this doesn't work out?
• What if it happens again?
• What if I fail?

Fear of rejection can become very loud and can create hesitation, avoidance, and sometimes complete inaction.

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb explores the connection between regret, rejection, and resilience and how anxiety can influence the way we approach decisions in our lives.
Drawing on mindfulness practices and neuroscience, this conversation explores how the brain processes perceived threat and how reflective awareness can help interrupt anxiety loops. When we shift the question we are asking ourselves, we may discover a new way to move forward with clarity and courage.

Resilience is not the absence of anxiety. Resilience is the ability to move forward even when uncertainty and fear are present. When action is taken with awareness, anxiety may still exist, but it no longer holds the same power.

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. It is available 24/7 and free and confidential.
