About this listen
Rejection hurts—especially when you have ADHD. For years, the term Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) has helped many of us put language to that experience. But in this episode, I explain why I’m no longer using that term—and what I’m saying instead.
We’ll cover:
- What rejection sensitivity actually is
- Why it makes total sense (and it's not a disorder)
- What’s problematic about the term RSD...in my opinion
- What the research really says about rejection and ADHD
- How trauma, therapy, coaching, and yes—medication—can all help
This episode is validating, spicy, and rooted in both lived experience and science. Let’s talk about rejection sensitivity in a way that empowers us to heal.
Resources Mentioned:
- Journal of Pediatric Psychology study on ADHD and peer rejection
- Dr. Dodson’s updated Additude article on RSD
