I’m back with one of my favorite guests who is always up for the challenge of a podcast–no matter what the topic is! I want to explore the term rejection sensitivity dysphoria and get Dr. Lesley Cook’s take on it because I have so many questions. Let’s learn more together!

Dr. Lesley Cook is a psychologist who works with those with ADHD and other kinds of neurodivergence. Born and raised in Hawaii, she now lives in Virginia and works with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

Show Highlights:

● What RSD (rejection sensitivity dysphoria) is and how it is manifested

● KC’s personal experience with RSD and feelings of worthlessness

● How RSD is different from sensory sensitivity and autism

● Thoughts about the strong word dysphoria in RSD

● KC’s personal experience with RSD and being told she is “too sensitive”

● How we can grow, change, and find regulatory strategies for RSD

● Why it is difficult to communicate the facets and nuances of RSD and other interpersonal difficulties
