“Being open about the way my brain processes the world, I’ve noticed, encourages others to reveal their own differences. It creates a different dynamic in the room, where the energy is open and honest. It’s a dynamic that I strive for all children — especially neurodivergent youth —to experience.”

For many people with ADHD, rejection doesn’t just sting; it overwhelms. A passing comment, a shift in tone, or a feeling of being left out can trigger an intense emotional reaction that is rapid, physical, and almost impossible to control. This is often referred to as rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), which is not a clinical diagnosis but a common phenomenon experienced by people with ADHD.

In this webinar with leading UK psychiatrist, educator, and author Dr. James Kustow, you will learn:

- Why RSD is part of the emotional dysregulation of ADHD

- What is happening in the brains and bodies of people with ADHD to make rejection sensitivity feels so intense

- How rejection sensitivity can shape behavior patterns such as self-abandonment, avoidance, and perfectionism

- What to do in the moment when you feel triggered and overwhelmed

- Practical ways to build emotional resilience and raise your threshold for triggers over time

- The role of therapy, lifestyle, and medication in managing rejection sensitivity

- What partners, family members, and colleagues can do to respond helpfully (and what to avoid)

"My psychiatrists thought I was depressed and put me on an SSRI. It didn’t help much, because I wasn’t depressed. Like so many women, I went through many diagnoses before my doctors finally hit on ADHD. I wasn’t manifesting depression or isolated anxiety issues. I was dealing with rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD)." - Elizabeth Broadbent
