Love this! A great post from the Creative Clinical Psychologist

Sometimes people say "it's their problem if they don't like you". But the reality is that being liked feels crucial for survival. If we dig deeper, what not being liked means is rejection. Possibly from a social group, or caretaker.

As inherently social beings, we need others to survive. Children are born unable to survive on their own, and even as adults, really without others, we are much more vulnerable. What this means is that at the bottom of a fear of not being liked, is the fear of dying.

So, it's really valid to worry about nor being like.

What would you add to the ocean that makes this fear amplified?

This book is worth exploring …..

Happy to the authors included in “Women Therapists on Healing,” and especially to our editors Susan Pease Banitt and Larissa Miranda.

The book is currently available through Barnes & Nobel and Amazon. I am grateful to Susan for her tenacity in making this project happen. It is a wonderful book of remedy, with compositions by authors from various backgrounds. My chapter is called “Addiction as Dissociation: A Survivor’s Tale.”
