Coping With Rejection

Rejection is a painful experience that everyone experience from time to time. In this video, Dr. May talks about why rejection hurts, how we grieve lost relationships, and how we can cope. (A variety of skills are discussed including the DBT skills of radical acceptance, validation, and opposite-to-emotion action for love.)

I'm late to comment based on when this was posted. I wonder though, would the same apply for when rejection is a job loss and not a personal relationship rejection?
