I agree that rejection is awful. I have been rejected many times, but I wouldn't call it emotional trauma.

However, your experience is unique to you. And your feelings are valid. Maybe instead of focusing on labeling it emotional trauma, look at what you just called it: rejection.

Emotional trauma is a big hurdle to overcome. But rejection is something you can learn to cope with and how to deal with. Talk to your T in your next session about learning to cope with rejection.

I like seesaw's comment. I agree. Rejection sensitivity can feel like trauma to some people, even though it might not be. I strongly suggest that you bring this topic up with your therapist.
