Well, hello there. Welcome to this episode of the Terry Cole Show. I want to start with a couple of

questions. Are you afraid to talk true? Because you're afraid of what people will say or what they'll

think. Do you sort of shy away from setting a limit with someone or setting boundaries with people

because you're worried that if you do,

people will reject or abandon you. Do you find that you people please because you want to keep

the peace, right? That's kind of like a walking on eggshells around other people to avoid

being rejected. Anybody? If you are not in your head, yes, then this episode is for you, my friend,

because in today's episode, I'm going to be talking about a common root to many of these

self-abandoning behaviors, the cost of this root behavior, fear of rejection, which is what it is,

right? And what happens if we go through

life? What is the cost to our personal life and our relationships? And I'm also going to share

some steps that you can take to begin overcoming this fear of rejection. It is a very human fear,

and yet, when it's amplified, it really can get in the way of us creating

the life and the relationships that we want.

So before we get into it, I just want to take a moment, as I love to do, to say, hey, pal,

thanks for being here.

I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy life to spend time with me to talk about

all the things that we're both interested in talking about,

which is mental wellness and boundaries and communication and go-dependency and relationships

and love and all the things, right? Right. So thank you, thank you, thank you. And hey, if you
