In this week’s wisdom episode, we explore Chapter 3 (Understanding Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit to discover how we can work with our minds, rather than against them, using empowerment, self-compassion, and practical ADHD tools for emotional regulation.

If you feel things deeply, struggle with managing anxiety, or find it hard to let go of perceived criticism, this conversation with Grace (a late-diagnosed ADHDer, writer, educator, and certified breathwork teacher) and Kristen (an ADHD coach, expert, and podcast host diagnosed at 21) offers clarity and comfort to navigate RSD.

What You'll Learn:

• What "clickbait thoughts" are, and why recognising familiar thought patterns can help us manage rejection sensitivity.
• How emotional habits and brain feedback loops influence our reactions, especially in high-stress or vulnerable moments.
• The impact of hormones, lack of sleep, and nutrition on our emotional regulation and thought processes.
• How curiosity and self-compassion can interrupt RSD thoughts to reframe negative thinking.
• The importance of creating safe internal spaces and seeing RSD as a lifelong partner we can learn to live with.
• Why acknowledging perfectionism and self-doubt is key to healing, and how to develop healthier coping strategies.
• How journaling helps ADHDers clarify feelings, spot mental habits, and navigate anxiety with more awareness.

If you're looking for more insight on how to navigate RSD, check out Kate's recent webinar here to help you understand, manage, and ease the pain of RSD.
