Rejection Sensitivity & Emotional Regulation
If you’ve ever felt rejection in your body before your mind could make sense of it — possibly from a text that went unanswered, a comment that left you questioning if someone is mad at you, or a subtle shift in tone that left you wondering, “Do they hate me?” — you’re not alone. This neurological experience (“RSD”) affects up to 99% of people with ADHD.
How We'll Work Together:
Dialectical Behavior Informed Therapy (DBT)
Learning and practicing mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation skills to help with overwhelm and rumination.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Meeting the shame and self-criticism that lives underneath RSD with specific tools to build the muscle of self-compassion, instead of more judgment.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Values-based living that helps you take meaningful action even when rejection fear is present.
