Intense Emotions as Gifts: How Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria Is Your Superpower
If you’ve ever felt crushed by criticism, overanalyzed a text, or spiraled when you thought someone was disappointed in you, this episode is for you.
Today we’re exploring Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), a term often connected with ADHD and trauma, and how the same sensitivity that makes life feel too much at times can also be your greatest superpower.
As a therapist, life coach, and yoga instructor who works with neurodivergent and trauma-experienced clients, as well as someone who experiences RSD personally, I’ll walk you through how intense emotions are not something to fix; they’re something to understand, integrate, and honor.
In this episode, we explore:
- What Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria really is and how it shows up in daily life
- Why intense emotional reactions are rooted in the nervous system, not weakness
- How trauma and attachment patterns amplify RSD responses
- Somatic and mindfulness tools to regulate when rejection pain flares up
- How to reframe RSD from a “problem” into a power
Key takeaways:
- Sensitivity is information; not shame.
- Emotional intensity can become emotional intelligence when met with compassion.
- Learning to soothe your nervous system lets you use that sensitivity for connection, not protection.
- Your capacity to feel deeply is also your capacity to love deeply.
