Imagine someone casually saying “hey, there’s a mistake in your presentation.” Most people would just nod and make the correction, but for those with RSD, this is a serious blow. In this episode we’re talking about Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, or RSD.
What this can feel like is your reactions to criticism are beyond what you might feel is normal, or you might feel rejected very easily.
By the end of this episode, you’ll be armed with coping strategies to help you manage RSD. You are not alone, and there is always help and support available.
What you’ll learn:
- How to set realistic expectations and deal with criticism in a healthier way
- How RSD can impact people with ADHD
- The importance of effective communication when dealing with RSD
- The benefits of mindfulness and seeking support in managing RSD
“When RSD strikes, your brain can become a swirling mess of negativity. Take a step back and ask yourself if your thoughts are based on facts.”
