Dealing with criticism & rejection

Service Description

Criticism and rejection touch upon key internal evaluation and defense mechanisms and can trigger strong emotional reactions – often unconsciously. This module makes individual sensitivities and internal reaction patterns visible, strengthens a nuanced approach to feedback, and changes automatic defense mechanisms, withdrawal, or justification responses. This fosters greater inner stability, reflective capacity, and self-confidence in interactions with others – even in emotionally challenging situations. The module can be conducted as coaching (focus: internal processing, self-esteem regulation, and emotional boundaries) or as mentoring (focus: application in everyday life and in dealing with feedback and conflict situations) – depending on the objective. Typical signs: Criticism is quickly perceived as a personal attack. Rejection triggers withdrawal, justification, or strong internal reactions. Feedback disproportionately influences self-image or ability to act. This module helps to process criticism and rejection constructively – before they determine self-esteem and behavior.
