RSD is a trauma response that manifests in heightened reactions to perceived rejection, rooted in childhood attachment wounds and neurodivergence. Healing involves self-awareness, regulating emotions, and rediscovering one's true self.
Ever felt like a single word or action could send you spiraling into an emotional whirlwind? You're not alone. In this episode of The Hypno-CBT Podcast, Kathy Carter dives deep into the world of rejection-sensitive dysphoria (RSD), a condition that hits particularly hard for those who are neurodivergent. Kathy breaks down what RSD is, why it happens, and how it ties into trauma and attachment issues. But she doesn't stop there.
She also offers practical strategies to manage these intense feelings, drawing from the Five Aspects Model by Christine Pedesky and Pia Mellody’s ‘Felt Reality’ theory of codependence. If you’ve ever found yourself going into fight-or-flight mode or shutting down completely when faced with rejection, this episode is packed with insights and tools that can help you navigate those tricky moments.
