For many people with ADHD, emotional experiences feel amplified. A small comment can feel like deep rejection, or a minor setback can trigger tears or frustration.
This response, often called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), stems from a nervous system that feels and reacts quickly.
The good news? Awareness and gentle regulation tools can make a big difference.
Coaching helps identify emotional triggers, build recovery strategies, and separate the feeling from the fact. Over time, self-compassion replaces self-criticism — creating more emotional steadiness and resilience.
