About

Rejection hurts. It's incredibly painful to feel like you're not wanted — and we do mean painful. Researchers found that we relate rejection to being "hurt," using terms like "crushed" or "broken-hearted." So, why does rejection trigger such a strong response, and is there any way to cope with this unique kind of pain? Explore common strategies to help you process this emotional experience. [Directed Caitlin McCarthy, narrated Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].
