I think that you got your past right. The cognitive distortions that are coming up are you interacting with your present like it is the past. How you developed in the past was in exact response to the dysfunctional environment. Now your environment isn't dysfunctional anymore and now you have to adjust to it and stop interacting like you are in the past dysfunctional environment.
What you are doing is very normal. How could you be acting any other way? We are very affected by our environment. Now you just need to let your healthy environment of today affect you.

This is very insightful granite. Do you think that how you learned to react to your environment in the past kept you safe so it is scary to change it now????
I so get that feeling of rejection?
