Episode 9 - RSD

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD)—that gut-punch feeling of rejection or criticism that can feel overwhelming and all-consuming, especially for those with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence. In this episode, Dr. Freya breaks down the science behind RSD—what’s really happening in the brain and body, and why it hits so hard—while Dawn opens up about her lived experiences navigating the emotional intensity of RSD in daily life. Together, they weave education and personal truth into a conversation that validates the struggle, highlights coping tools, and reminds us that even in the chaos, there’s clarity to be found.
