Fear of Rejection Symptoms Checklist

Instructions #

Rejection anxiety is a significant challenge because it arises from within the client in response to imagined situations, impeding personal growth and goal achievement.

The client may struggle to be fully present in the present moment, take worthwhile risks despite the possibility of occasional failure, approach clients they find appealing or intriguing, assert themselves, advocate for their deserving, and much more.

As the therapist, you can use this checklist to assess the client’s rejection anxiety and facilitate a deeper understanding of its effects.

Encourage the client to reflect on their experiences and provide honest answers to the checklist questions in order to gain insight into how rejection anxiety affects different aspects of their life.

This assessment will aid in identifying specific areas of focus for therapeutic intervention and will assist the client in developing strategies to effectively overcome and manage their anxiety.
