Writer, podcast host and mental health advocate Gemma Styles joins Ben for a deeply honest conversation about ADHD, anxiety, depression and the emotional weight of going through life feeling constantly overwhelmed without understanding why.Gemma reflects on being treated for mental health struggles long before anyone recognised ADHD, and how her diagnosis reframed years of self-blame, exhaustion and internal chaos. She speaks openly about the experience of internalised hyperactivity - where the mind never fully slows down, even when everything looks calm externally - and the pressure of trying to hold things together while quietly struggling underneath.Together, they explore rejection sensitivity dysphoria, social anxiety, motherhood, burnout and the emotional toll of living in a world that often rewards productivity while misunderstanding overwhelm. They also unpack the growing public conversation around ADHD in women - including the tension between increased visibility and the backlash that can come with it.This episode is about the reality underneath the headlines, labels and stereotypes - the lived experience of trying to navigate a world that often misunderstands overwhelm, emotional intensity and difference. And why finally understanding your brain can change the way you understand your entire life.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction04:30 Gemma Styles on ADHD, Mental Health & Public Perception05:35 “My ADHD Was Completely Missed”06:40 Depression, Anxiety & Knowing Something Else Was Going On07:17 The Relief of Finally Understanding Your Brain08:32 Why Talking About ADHD Publicly Matters09:12 ADHD, Boundaries & Being Online12:41 Late Diagnosis Grief & “What If I'd Known Earlier?”13:45 Why So Many Women With ADHD Were Missed14:13 ADHD in Adults: The System Wasn't Looking For It19:00 What Inattentive ADHD Feels Like Internally20:00 ADHD Brains in Crisis Mode28:05 Therapy, Overthinking & Anxious Thought Loops29:37 ADHD & Anxiety: “It Never Fully Switches Off”30:18 Social Anxiety, Fame & ADHD31:27 Can You Be Authentic Online Without Oversharing?32:20 Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria & ADHD34:15 Motherhood, ADHD & RSD40:32 “ADHD Doesn't Feel Like a Superpower To Me”42:57 Writing a Book With ADHD52:23 ADHD Community, Visibility & Feeling Seen53:02 ADHD Social Media & The Attention Economy56:41 Motherhood, Work & Stepping Back From Social Media57:43 What Gemma Styles Finds Frustrating About ADHD Discourse1:00:00 Gemma's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

Have you ever wondered why you can be deeply authentic, doing the inner work, showing up with integrity—and still feel unseen? In this episode, Lacy, Jessica, and Janelle unpack the missing link between authenticity and magnetism: your signal. Your signal is the clarity that comes from knowing who you are without needing external validation to confirm it, and feeling safe enough to express it without collapsing under rejection or misunderstanding. From social media personas to boundaries and nervous system safety, this conversation reveals the deeper layers of manifestation that shape how your authentic self is received by the world.  If you've ever felt caught between wanting to be seen and fearing what visibility might cost you, this one's for you. You'll find tools for strengthening your signal, healing rejection wounds, and stepping into your next level of authentic expression with clarity, integrity, and self-trust.  And if you're ready to shine with full luminosity and step into your power, join the Be Seen Challenge, kicking off June 1.

Katy Keenan has turned the British Chamber of Commerce Dubai into one of the most respected business communities in the UAE 1,200 members across 29 sectors, a board that's now 50% women, record profits donated to charity, a 98% satisfaction rating, and a LinkedIn following that grew from 6,000 to nearly 33,000 with no marketing budget whatsoever. Just authentic storytelling, genuine relationships, and a woman who remembers every person she's ever met.  Katy was bullied at school. She spent her Saturdays caring for severely disabled children. She's supported women escaping domestic violence, trailing spouses who've lost their professional identity, and menopausal women being quietly pushed out of the workforce. Her hairdresser told her at age seven: "No matter how happy you are, always have your own money." She's never forgotten it, and she tells her daughters the same thing.  This is one of those conversations that moves between the boardroom and kitchen table, between hard business reality and the kind of honest human warmth you rarely get from a leader of her calibre. You get a masterclass on what it actually takes to build something real in Dubai and why the people who dismiss this city from afar are the ones who wouldn't have made it here anyway.    Timestamps:  0:00 – Why Spencer hates networking and what the Chamber is actually for   2:22 – The secret sales team: how the Chamber coaches members who hate selling themselves   5:38 – Her first day: the numbers were dire, the board wasn't diverse, she nearly walked   7:25 – From 13% to 50% female board and why diversity has to be earned, not forced   9:26 – Speed networking with a 3–5 week wait list: what that tells you about Dubai right now   12:18 – The old boys' club conversation: gender events, merit, and the allies that actually helped   17:17 – Lifelong volunteering, the Rashid Centre, and where her empathy really comes from   21:17 – Hyper helping mode, setting boundaries, and why she remembers every single person   27:25 – From deficit to record profit: the turnaround, Covid calls, and 6,000 government surveys   33:09 – Zero marketing budget and the editorial approach that worked   34:22 – Exiting members for bad behaviour and why psychological safety is non-negotiable  37:17 – The biggest mistake UK businesses make when they arrive in the UAE   42:54 – What "Made in Dubai" means to her and why her children were essentially made here   49:11 – The Liberated Woman, trailing spouses, and why mature women are better hires  51:32 – The hairdresser's advice at age seven: "Always have your own money"   58:48 – How the Chamber could support Spencer's school-building charity model   1:02:00 – Bullying, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, and how being the outsider became her superpower   1:09:04 – Cranial sacral therapy, personal coaching, and a body "bracing for a car to hit you"   1:13:21 – UK media bashing Dubai and why the critics are the ones who wouldn't have made it anyway     Follow Spencer Lodge on Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/madeindubaipodcast/?hl=en   https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586194260076  https://www.instagram.com/spencer.lodge/?hl=en  https://www.tiktok.com/@spencer.lodge   https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerlodge/  https://www.youtube.com/c/SpencerLodgeTV  https://www.facebook.com/spencerlodgeofficial/    Follow Katy Keenan on Social Media:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/katy-keenan-b457794/  https://www.linkedin.com/company/british-chamber-dubai/posts/?feedView=all  https://www.instagram.com/bccdubai?g=5  https://www.instagram.com/katykdxb/ 

Episode 139 - Can you hear me now? - Navigating the kink world while deaf with EtoileDCEpisode Description:  In this episode Mx Dizzy and Marquis Pup Rekkr talk with Meredith, known as EtoileDC in virtual spaces, a deaf human and a kink and sexuality educator based in Washington DC, who has been teaching since 2016 and has presented across the United States. Despite the difficulties, obvious and not so obvious, of interviewing a deaf person virtually for an audio-only podcast, Meredith was more than willing to take on the task with us. We worked together to figure out how to accommodate her specific needs and to conduct an interview which rivals the quality of all of our others. We discuss how being deaf is seen in the kink community and navigating various spaces as a deaf person as well as how kink spaces can be more accommodating for deaf and hard of hearing people. Etoile DC also does work around Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria in polyamorous and kinky relationships on their Patreon. She graciously shares with us some of her advice and strategies on managing RSD within the context of kink and BDSM specifically. Join us to learn more about Rejection Sensitivity, polyamory, kink relationships, and being a deaf kinkster!⁠Check out The Kinky Tavern's socials and more!⁠ If you have questions about kink, BDSM, or the Leather community, send them to us on any platform.

RSD is the hardest part of ADHD. It stands for Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria and it causes extreme emotional pain when you perceive someone has criticised you. It's truly debilitating but there are many coping strategies. Pre-order Alex's book about Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria can be one of the most debilitating parts of life with ADHD, and now, it's the subject of Alex Partridge's new book. The internet's favourite ADHD advisor joins Helen to talk reaction, rejection and how to deal with life when nothing feels safe...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If rejection (or even perceived rejection) feels physically painful, overwhelming, or impossible to shake, this episode is for you. In this episode, we explore the psychology behind Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) a widely recognized experience (though not a formal diagnosis) that's especially common in people with ADHD, and anyone who struggles with intense emotional reactions to rejection, criticism, or disapproval. This episode covers: What RSD actually feels like and why it can feel physically painful The difference between real rejection and perceived rejection Common triggers (and why perception matters more than reality) What's happening in the brain during an RSD spiral Signs you may be experiencing RSD Why people-pleasing, avoidance, overachievement, and rumination don't actually help How RSD differs from “normal” emotional sensitivity The link between RSD, ADHD, and emotional dysregulation This episode isn't about “toughening up” or stopping emotions from happening. It's about learning how to move through rejection without losing yourself to it and rebuilding a sense of control, safety, and self-trust. If you've ever thought, “I know this is irrational, but it feels unbearable,” this conversation will help you understand why and what to do next.

Today, we are talking about RSD or rejection sensitivity dysphoria. In the podcast I said disorder but it is dysphoria or feeling sensitive to being rejected. It is generally associated with neurodivergent populations like spectrum disorder or ADHD. People will tend to be sensitive to being rejected or othered when they behave differently than their peers or people around them. This can create behavior like conflict avoidance or people pleasing which relates to codependency. It can also lead to people withdrawing from others or anxiety about how they are perceived. #RSD #attachmentstyle #anxiety #mentalhealth #authenticself #secureattachment

Emily Kircher-Morris and Dr. William Dodson have a conversation about the complexities of ADHD, in which they discuss emotional dysregulation, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), and social anxiety. They talk about how RSD manifests in ADHDers, and how we can distinguish it from social anxiety. They also explore the impact of childhood experiences, the vital role of relationships, and the need for updated diagnostic criteria. This conversation was taken from a two-part series earlier in 2025. TAKEAWAYS Emotional dysregulation is often overlooked in ADHD diagnoses. RSD is a specific condition affecting many with ADHD; the pain can be both emotional and physical, leading to significant life impairments. Social anxiety is anticipatory, while rejection sensitivity is reactive; they can coexist but are distinct. Childhood experiences can exacerbate RSD but are not the sole cause. Medication, alongside sleep, nutrition, structure, and routine, plays a vital role in emotional regulation. Mood disorders can manifest independently of external events, and a significant percentage of individuals with ADHD have coexisting psychiatric diagnoses. Understanding RSD is essential for clinicians, and psychoeducation is key to self-advocacy. Here's the research project Emily mentions in her closing thoughts. Dr. Bill Dodson is a board-certified adult psychiatrist who has specialized in adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder for the last 27 years. In recognition of his clinical contributions to the field of ADHD he was named a Life Fellow of the APA in 2012. He was the 2006 recipient of the national Maxwell J. Schleifer Award for Distinguished Service to Persons with Disabilities. His contributions to the field of ADHD include: The only currently available methodology for the fine-tuning of ADHD medications. The concept of Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria and its treatment with medications. The first non-behavioral theory of what ADHD is and how it can be treated successfully with an emphasis on what goes right rather than what goes wrong.

That gut-punch feeling isn't just being “too sensitive.” It's Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) ... a neurological response that hits ADHD entrepreneurs hard.In this episode, Alyece breaks down how RSD shows up in business, why your brain reacts like it's under attack, and how to build practical systems to keep your business moving even when your emotions flare up.

Vic and Hamish dive into what it is, why it bites harder in sobriety, and how success amnesia makes you forget every win you've ever had the second something goes wrong.Expect sweaty palms, public speaking disasters, spa-side meltdowns, and knob jokes (obviously). If you've ever spiralled over a slow text reply or considered joining witness protection after a minor faux pas, this episode is for you.

With humour, honesty, and hard-won insight, Jordan and Simon highlight how mainstream recognition of RSD is slowly catching up to what the neurodivergent community has been saying for years.Together, they discuss:What Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria really feels like for ADHDers and autistic peopleWhy naming RSD creates distance, self-awareness, and practical coping strategiesHow therapy (and finding the right therapist) can help untangle emotional floodsThe importance of starting young—teaching kids resilience, boundaries, and emotional languageWhy harmful advice from mainstream parenting “experts” can traumatise neurodivergent childrenTools that actually help: clarity in communication, gentle feedback, and community validationWhether you're navigating RSD yourself, parenting neurodivergent kids, or trying to understand a loved one's inner world, this conversation blends science, lived experience, and humour to bring comfort, clarity, and hope.The article discussed in this episode❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

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 statesHow attachment experiences shape our sensitivity to rejectionWhat actually helps when RSD shows up (for you or your child), including co-regulation and self-compassionResources mentioned in this podcast:Trauma, Memory, & Behavior: Part 1 {EP 90}The Neurobiology of Toxic Shame {EP 119}1% Better Is Enough. {EP 166}All Behavior Makes Sense {EP 198}Read the full transcript at:RobynGobbel.com/rejectivesensitivityProfessionals who work with parents of kids with big, baffling behaviors!Join us for Reframing Resistance: Supporting Parents and Caregivers thru the Lens of Relational Neuroscience.See the website for all details and to register!RobynGobbel.com/ReframingResistance Check Out All Robyn's Free Resources!You can download all sorts of free resources, including webinars, eBook, and infographics about topics such as lying, boundaries, and co-regulation!RobynGobbel.com/FreeResources :::Grab a copy of my book Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors robyngobbel.com/bookJoin us in The Club for more support! robyngobbel.com/TheClubApply for the Baffling Behavior Training Institute's Professional Immersion Program (formerly Being With) robyngobbel.com/ImmersionFollow Me On:FacebookInstagram Over on my website you can find:Webinar and eBook on Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior (FREE)eBook on The Brilliance of Attachment (FREE)LOTS & LOTS of FREE ResourcesOngoing support, connection, and co-regulation for struggling parents: The ClubYear-Long Immersive & Holistic Training Program for Parenting Professionals: The Baffling Behavior Training Institute's (BBTI) Professional Immersion Program (formerly Being With)

Send us a text! (add your email to get a response)What happens when criticism feels like a physical blow? For some of you, rejection and criticism trigger an emotional response so intense it has its own name: Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).In this episode, we deep into the painful world of RSD – that overwhelming feeling of shame and worthlessness that can follow even minor criticism for or rejection. Jacqueline shares a raw, personal story about crying in a supervisor's office following critical feedback, highlighting how even successful people can feel ambushed by the pain of rejection. What's surprising is that the research shows that RSD is common with neurodivergent people with symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We question whether RSD is truly unique to ADHD or if it's simply an intense manifestation of shame that's been given a clinical name. The neurobiological explanation involves differences in how the ADHD brain processes rejection, but we wonder if the real difference lies in how frequently people with ADHD face criticism throughout their lives for behaviors that are difficult to control.We also cover practical coping strategies, exploring cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, leaning into and even celebrating the traits that often invite criticism. Perhaps most valuable is reframing ADHD traits as having both strengths and challenges, recognizing that spontaneity, creativity, and hyperfocus can be tremendous assets in the right context.**We're excited to announce that our KulaMind community is finally open!!

Welcome to episode 100! Today, we will be discussing Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria—its prevalence among neurodivergent individuals and how it has manifested in my own experience as an autistic person. Often, it is the accumulation of seemingly minor rejections that leads to burnout, particularly when navigating ambiguous social norms and the challenge of belonging. If you can relate to this experience, know that you are not alone. In this episode, we will explore the importance of self-compassion, emotional safety, and strategies for cultivating a more fulfilling and joyful life. Let's dive in.  In this episode: What is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). Accumulation over time – how small, seemingly insignificant experiences of rejection can build, eventually leading to overwhelm or even burnout. The struggle to belong – how navigating unclear social rules and fear of making mistakes can intensify RSD, making participation in diverse communities particularly challenging.

Hi bestiessssOn todays episode, Tara's out of meltdown and is a bit more organised* *she's doing HIGHLY profound things like sewing pants and brandishing bobbins with Chloe Wilder (Listen to Chloe's ADHD island here),Meanwhile Grace is taking her journals on a little beach trip (don't worry she asked them first) in her bid to stay unperceived and allowing herself to be indulgent about meeting her needs.

In the second of our powerful two-part conversation, Emily Kircher-Morris and Dr. William Dodson discuss the complexities of ADHD, emotional dysregulation and its subset, and Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). He explains how RSD can manifest in ADHDers, the impact of childhood experiences, and the importance of understanding and treating these conditions. There is a need for updated diagnostic criteria and effective treatment strategies, including medication and supportive environments. They dig into the complexities of ADHD, including management strategies, and the importance of understanding the overlap between social anxiety and mood disorders. TAKEAWAYS Emotional dysregulation is often overlooked in ADHD diagnoses. RSD is a specific condition affecting many with ADHD. The emotional pain from RSD can be both emotional and physical, and can lead to significant life impairments. Childhood experiences can exacerbate RSD but are not the sole cause. Medication can be effective in managing emotional dysregulation. Understanding RSD is essential for clinicians working with ADHD patients. Preventative strategies are key in managing RSD episodes. Sleep, nutrition, structure, and routine play vital roles in emotional regulation. Social anxiety and rejection sensitivity can coexist but are distinct.

In this episode, I dive into rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) and how it connects to both ADHD and autism. I explore the intense emotional responses that come with RSD, the common triggers, and the ways it can impact relationships and self-worth.

In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we are joined by Tamzin Hall as we explore Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) and its impact in the workplace. Tamzin explains how RSD is common in neurodivergent people but affects others too, causing intense emotional pain over perceived rejection, even from minor incidents, making it difficult to move forward. Tamzin shares strategies to help those affected build an understanding of their RSD and recognise the triggers, which can aid in managing reactions both in the moment and proactively. We discuss how leaders can support employees with RSD by clearly communicating the “why, what, when” behind decisions to minimise feelings of rejection.   Connect with Tamzin: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamzin-hall/ Website: https://www.theneurodiversityacademy.com/   ##########   If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian at: julian@julianrobertsconsulting.com   You can buy my book "Weathering the Storm: A Guide to Building Resilient Teams" on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DFTYN2Y2   ##########

Von and therapist Stephanie Olano discuss the basics of ADHD and how it impacts executive functions. They explore the concept of ADHD as a superpower and discuss strategies for managing it. They also delve into the challenges of boredom, impulsivity, and addiction that can be associated with ADHD. Stephanie emphasizes the importance of creating systems and breaking tasks down into manageable steps. They also touch on the connection between ADHD and trauma, as well as the link between ADHD and addiction. In this conversation, Von and Stephanie discuss the concept of instant gratification and how it relates to ADHD. They explore the idea that substances like drugs and alcohol can provide immediate relief and pleasure, but there is a need to find healthier coping skills and solutions. They also delve into the topic of rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) and how it affects individuals with ADHD, causing them to feel intense emotional pain and perceive rejection even when it may not be present. Stephanie emphasizes the importance of challenging negative narratives and assumptions, and finding ways to accommodate and embrace the strengths of ADHD rather than trying to manage or control it.Chapters (00:00) Introduction and Overview(03:24) Executive Function & ADHD (11:01) Why Is It So Hard To Relax with ADHD?(15:30) Creating Systems and Routines(21:48) Having A Support System(22:37) Why ADHD Can Be Traumatizing To The Nervous System(26:12) The Link Between ADHD and Addiction(30:05) Instant Gratification and Coping Mechanisms(32:34) Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria(40:43) ADHD as a Superpower(47:21)  Accommodating Your ADHD and Self-CompassionStephanie Olano Linkin
