Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) isn’t about being overly sensitive. It’s about a nervous system that experiences rejection as danger. In this episode, I explore RSD through the lens of relational neuroscience, attachment, memory, and regulation. Whether you see this in yourself or your child, this episode will help you understand why rejection feels so big, and what actually helps.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why RSD reactions are so intense and how they’re rooted in memory and nervous system states
• How attachment experiences shape our sensitivity to rejection
• What actually helps when RSD shows up (for you or your child), including co-regulation and self-compassion
