KC: Even though if I take action I risk being rejected or used---I honor and acknowledge the tape playing in my head
KC: Even though the tape in my head is a horror show---no wonder I’m scared---I honor and acknowledge this fear
KC: Even though in the past this kind of action blew up in my face---I honor and acknowledge this and that was then and this is now
EB: Oh no, I always get hurt
SE: Yikes, I don’t want to get rejected again
UE: I felt like such a fool
UN: Laughed at
CH: So embarrassed
CB: Ah, I can’t do it
UA: There is all this negative history
TH: Just remembering how it felt to be rejected---ouch!
EB: I don’t want to be rejected again
SE: It’s safer not to do anything
UE: I might be rejected again and that’s a fact
UN: Maybe it will be a polite rejection this time
CH: Are you crazy---rejection is rejection
CB: Maybe the person after the rejection will say YES
UA: I don’t have control over them
TH: I do have control over my reaction to the rejection
EB: They might just be having a bad day

UN: That feels good
CH: Then I can ask another person

TH: There isn’t someone great out there for me
Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh
CB: Feel the rejection, tap, release and then tap in self-pride in what I did
When the limiting thoughts come back tap on the UE and say or think: “I am committed one happy and loving relationship with myself and another”
