I do 100% feel this and do know that it often holds true.

But I've been dealing with a major episode of social rejection and abandonment from those who I felt fairly close to during a major life event. Happened over a span of several months last year culminating in the "climax" in early October before abruptly "ending".

But I still struggle to move past it. I am even still friends with the people this happened with. We have a lot of good times, but things happen where it resurfaces and then it's hard to get out of. :(

I've been in an intensive DBT program and while I have found it to be massively helpful for a lot of my base negative emotions, it doesn't really touch this one much.

I'm honestly at a loss of how to begin to resolve this one. Does this part need a different type of therapy after my DBT program is done?
