Podcasts about RSD

This might be the most vulnerable episode we've ever recorded. No guests. No buffer. Just Mayim and Jonathan…and something we didn't realize was quietly shaping Mayim's entire life! We're talking about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) — and what started as a casual conversation turned into a full-blown personal reckoning. If you've ever: - Felt physical pain when you thought someone was disappointed in you - Spiraled for HOURS (or years) over one tiny mistake - Assumed you were getting fired every time your boss said, “Can we talk?” - Left parties early because you were sure you didn't belong - Become enraged, ashamed, or devastated over something other people say “isn't a big deal” …this is the episode to help you make it all make sense. Mayim & Jonathan break down: - Very real, very intense emotional and physical experience of RSD (the kind often associated with ADHD and neurodivergence, but not limited to it) - What's happening in the brain - Why logic DOESN'T fix it - Overlap with perfectionism, people-pleasing, codependency, & rage - Why success, fame, or external validation doesn't magically make it go away - Whether extreme physical training could override emotional sensitivity Mayim shares stories she's never shared before: - Why being late to meetings triggers white hot rage - Why improv makes her want to cry - Why hosting Jeopardy! didn't protect her from feeling exposed - What it was really like making public appearances while starring on The Big Bang Theory And yes…you know they had to take a quiz. Follow along with us and share your results! This Isn't About Being “Too Sensitive”. This is about a nervous system that experiences perceived rejection as catastrophe. For some people, it feels like: - Being punched in the chest - Not being able to breathe - Instant shame and/or rage - Total collapse of perspective And if you don't experience this? You'll finally understand what someone you love might be going through. The Hard Questions We Ask - Is this just low self-esteem? - Are we over-diagnosing everything? - Is this a modern luxury problem? - Does having a label help…or limit you? - Can confidence actually fix this? - What you can actually do to cope And the most important takeaway: This isn't about weakness. It's about perception. And perception can shift. This conversation evolved in ways we did NOT expect. It's raw. It's personal. It's uncomfortable. And it might explain things in your life you've never had language for. If you've ever wondered, “Why does this hurt so much more for me than for everyone else?” Start here.

This week on the podcast, we're talking about something that so many women quietly experience but that very few of us actually talk about...Sex... Perimenopause...Libido... Desire...Orgasms... How our attraction changes as our hormonal levels shift. It's a big topic and one to listen to in a safe space away from small ears!So many women notice changes in their libido, attraction, intimacy or sexual confidence during perimenopause and menopause. For late-diagnosed neurodivergent women, these understanding shifts can feel even more confusing as hormones, attention, the nervous system and relationships all intersect.In this episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Dr Angela Wright, a trauma-trained clinical sexologist, sex medicine practitioner and menopause clinician with a specialist interest in the overlaps between trauma, ADHD, PMDD and menopause.Together we explore the often unspoken intersection between hormones, menopause, libido and sexual wellbeing, particularly for neurodivergent women. Many women notice shifts in their bodies, desire, or relationships during perimenopause and menopause, yet these changes are rarely explained in a way that helps them understand what's really happening.This conversation opens up space to talk honestly about the changes women may experience during this stage of life, and how understanding the relationship between hormones, the nervous system and ADHD can help make sense of shifts in intimacy, attraction and connection.In this episode, we explore:How hormonal changes during perimenopause can impact libido and sexual desireWhy techniques or dynamics that once worked sexually may change as hormones shiftThe connection between ADHD, novelty and desire in long-term relationshipsHow hormones, the nervous system and attention interact to shape sexual experienceWhy some people experience a loss of interest in sex during midlifeHow orgasms can support relaxation, tension release and hormone regulationThe importance of communication in relationships, including using “I” statements to express needsHow treatments such as vaginal oestrogen and hormonal support can help during perimenopauseThe impact of progesterone and testosteroneThis episode offers reassurance, insight, and practical language for women navigating changes in their bodies and relationships, helping to reduce the confusion and isolation that can accompany these experiences.Join the More Yourself Community - the doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, learn and come home to who they really are.

XTC guitarist extraordinaire Dave Gregory joins us to discuss the band's very first Record Store Day Exclusive Release, a double-LP set called Live Boots, culled from a show recorded for radio broadcast at Emerald City, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey during the band's 1981 tour for their Black Sea album. Dave recalls that heady time, and expounds on his two main passions; collecting vintage guitars, and the joyful rituals of playing his many vinyl records. The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music. Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton. RECORD STORE DAY IS APRIL 18th.

What's the difference between social anxiety & social anxiety disorder? What should you do if you're spiraling?  Dr. Ali Mattu was so socially anxious as a child, that he had selective mutism. Since then, he's become a clinical psychologist specializing in treating anxiety disorders. Wanting to create more accessible mental health education, he created a YouTube channel with over 8.5 million views that helps viewers live a more compassionate, courageous, and connected life. He was the co-host of PBS's Emmy Nominated Self-Evident, an expert on Netflix + Vox's The Mind Explained: Anxiety, HBO's Doctor Commentaries, & A&E's The Employables.  In this episode, we discuss the difference between social anxiety & social anxiety disorder, where it comes from, how RSD, Autism, Introversion & Reddit come into play & give practical tips to feel grounded. This episode originally aired May 15, 2023. If you like this episode, you'll also like episode 300: BIOFIELD THERAPY FOR ANXIETY & GRIEF: RECIPE FOR WELLNESS OR PURCHASED PLACEBO? Guest:https://www.instagram.com/alimattu/https://www.facebook.com/dralimattuhttp://alimattu.com/https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePsychShow/featured Host:  https://www.meredithforreal.com/  https://www.instagram.com/meredithforreal/ meredith@meredithforreal.comhttps://www.youtube.com/meredithforreal https://www.facebook.com/meredithforrealthecuriousintrovert  Sponsors: https://www.jordanharbinger.com/starterpacks/ https://www.historicpensacola.org/about-us/  01:12 — Selective mutism (sadly not an X-Men power)04:05 — Anxiety as evolution's survival feature04:48 — Why anxious people thrive in emergencies05:02 — Social anxiety vs. social anxiety disorder07:05 — Humans' real superpower: collaboration08:05 — The hidden usefulness of everyday social anxiety09:00 — When social anxiety becomes a disorder11:00 — Generalized anxiety vs. social anxiety14:40 — Introversion vs. social anxiety (they're not the same)16:35 — Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria explained20:05 — ADHD, rejection sensitivity, and social anxiety overlap23:00 — Where social anxiety actually comes from29:05 — Why social anxiety looks different in everyone31:10 — Finding your core fear with the “downward arrow”32:15 — Why identifying the core fear is empowering33:05 — The terror of large gatherings explained34:00 — What coping really means (and what it doesn't)35:00 — The difference between helpful coping and avoidance36:00 — The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique for anxiety38:10 — Supporting a loved one who shuts down socially41:00 — Helping someone through social anxiety in real time43:10 — True alarms vs. false alarms in social anxiety44:05 — Social anxiety within marginalized communities46:10 — Scaling social support for the mental health crisisRequest to join my private Facebook Group, MFR Curious Insiders https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1BAt3bpwJC/

If you've ever spent an entire day performing a version of yourself that felt nothing like the real you — holding it together at work, seeming calm when you're not, passing as organized — you already know something about masking. But knowing it and understanding it are two different things. Dr. Sharon Saline returns to help Pete and Nikki unpack what masking actually is: hiding traits, suppressing impulses, and overcompensating to appear more polished than you feel. It's a coping mechanism that can be useful, but for adults with ADHD, chronic masking carries real costs — increased anxiety, emotional exhaustion, a growing disconnect between who you show the world and who you actually are.One of the most important distinctions in this conversation is the difference between masking and presentation. We all show up differently in different contexts — there's a version of you at work, with close friends, with your partner. That's not masking; that's healthy. Masking is specifically about hiding, about a core sense of deficiency that says if people see the real me, they'll reject me. Sharon traces this directly to the social anxiety spectrum — and to the RSD, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome that so many with ADHD know intimately.So what does it look like in practice? Saying yes when you mean no. Staying quiet when you have something to say. Overpreparing to look like you know everything so no one discovers you feel like you know nothing. And at work, pretending you have it all under control when you're drowning — rather than simply asking for what you need. Sharon draws a crucial line between protective masking (I will never feel safe here) and productive masking (I don't feel comfortable yet) — and that distinction is where the path forward starts to open up.Lowering the mask isn't about tearing it off all at once. It's about identifying the patterns — the people and places where you've felt safe before — and using those as your guide. It's about noticing the physical sensation of safety when it shows up, and recognizing that you deserve spaces in your life where you don't have to perform in order to belong. Sharon also reminds us that for AuDHD people especially, masking has often been an essential survival tool, and that owning your challenges with honesty — and even humor — is ultimately far less exhausting than the alternative.Links & NotesDr. Sharon Saline — drsharonsaline.comSupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (01:58) - When Masking is a Strategy (03:18) - What is Masking? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In this episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Ella Jack, founder of She Moves Community, a growing community that brings women together through movement in nature.Ella shares how the idea began during a difficult period with her mental health. As a 23-year-old navigating ADHD and early adulthood, Ella started hiking to support her mental health after beginning therapy. This quickly grew into something much bigger and created a supportive space where women can connect, move their bodies and spend time outdoors together.Together, Kate and Ella explore the powerful impact of movement, routine, nature and community, and why these elements can be particularly supportive for women with ADHD.Key TakeawaysElla's experience of ADHD and mental health in early adulthoodStarting Girls That Hike and overcoming fears about launching something newHow movement in nature can significantly support mental wellbeingThe role of routine and regular physical activity for ADHD regulationWhy community and shared experiences help women feel less aloneThe challenges of making new friends as an adult womanHow group activities can foster authentic connection and belongingBeing okay with adapting, change and growthTurning personal struggles into purpose and community impactThis conversation is such an inspiring reminder that sometimes the ideas born from our hardest moments can grow into something that supports many others, too.Timestamps:00:01 - Introduction to Ella's Personal Experience07:16 - The Birth of She Moves, Movement and Mental Health10:21 - The Beginning of Change21:41 - The Importance of Community and Connection28:40 - Starting the She Moves CommunityJoin the More Yourself Community - the doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, learn and come home to who they really are.

Steve Berlin has been a member of L.A. band Los Lobos since 1984, but in the interim he has split his career between playing saxophone for that band (and The Blasters) and becoming an in-demand record producer for a host of bands including Los Lobos, Faith No More, Crash Test Dummies, and Canada's biggest band, The Tragically Hip. But in 1981, he began his production career working on an album for L.A. local legends, Top Jimmy & The Rhythm Pigs. The album, Pigus Drunkus Maximus, was initially released on the vanity label of another L.A. legend, Steve Wynn, before practically vanishing into the mists of L.A. musical history. This year, the album received a deluxe remastered reissue, with liner notes by Chris Morris, and archival photography by Gary Leonard. Steve tells us the legend of Top Jimmy, and shares some exciting Los Lobos news. And Paul (always the Canadian) asks him about producing The Tragically Hip.    The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.

When creative work gets hard, most people with ADHD assume something's wrong.Wrong idea.Wrong project.Wrong career.In this conversation, Andy J. Pizza (author, illustrator, and host of Creative Pep Talk) breaks down the moment his work completely dried up — and why that crisis forced him to stop winging it and start creating strategically.We talk about perfectionism, rejection sensitivity, creative droughts, collaboration fights, and the uncomfortable shift from “I hope this works” to “I'm building this on purpose.”This isn't about hacks or hustle.It's about understanding that hard and bad are not the same thing — and sometimes the difficulty is the point.What We CoverWhy “hard” is often a sign of growth, not failureThe shift from exploratory creativity to strategic authorshipHow perfectionism and RSD quietly stall creative outputRebuilding after a six-month career droughtWhy collaboration feels like conflict (and why that's normal)Connect with Andy: on his website or follow him on Instagram @andyjpizza P.S.

In this episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate is joined by Dr Kati Peditto, Founding Researcher at the Built Experience Lab and a leading voice in neuroaffirming design - an approach that centres lived experience and views neurodivergence as an identity to be supported, not a problem to be solved.As an Autistic woman with ADHD, Kati brings both lived experience and research insight to a conversation many late-diagnosed women will recognise, the quiet, everyday ways our environments can either support our nervous systems or leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and “too much”.Together, they explore the hidden impacts of our built environments and the origins of common design practices, as well as the design assumptions made and their contribution to stress, burnout, and self-doubt for neurodivergent women.This episode offers validation, language and practical ways to think differently about your environment and your needs.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available. Grab your copy here!In this episode, we explore:What neuroaffirming design is and the assumptions built into most spacesThe difference between neuroinclusive and neuroaffirmingWhy standard accessibility checklists often miss neurodivergent needsCommon sensory challenges: fluorescent lighting, noise, acoustics, open-plan offices, and lack of windowsHow open-plan design and modern workplaces impact attention, energy and regulationWhy sensory rooms can become a tick-box rather than true inclusionThe importance of choice, control and agency based on your sensory profileWhat neuroaffirming workplaces and schools could look like in practiceThe role managers and leaders play in creating supportive environmentsUnderstanding cognitive accessibility and how to audit your spaceMoving beyond one-size-fits-all design to support individual needsKati is currently writing a book that explores how the hidden curriculum of our built environments impacts neurodivergent individuals and how spaces can be designed to foster true flourishing.

Yes, I Twisted My Ankle. Yes, I Peed a Little Patricia Young (she/her) explores how change— even neutral change — can feel dysregulating, especially for autistic and neurodivergent people. From shifting family schedules and unexpected travel changes to navigating awkward neighbor dynamics and social gray areas, she shares real-life examples of practicing flexibility instead of binary thinking. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE ·       Why neutral change can still feel deeply dysregulating ·       The nervous system impact of shifting routines ·       Family schedule changes and the emotional whiplash that can follow ·       Anticipating the worst when others are gone ·       Grumbly thinking vs. reality when loved ones return ·       The binary autistic brain: all-or-nothing thinking patterns ·       Practicing middle ground instead of rigidity ·       Adjusting dog-walking routines without spiraling ·       Letting your body rest without labeling it as failure ·       Listening to fatigue cues after high-output days ·       Using structure for regulation without becoming trapped by it ·       Creating supportive environments (like curating a digital photo frame) ·       Finding connection through shared routines (AquaFit, food, walking dogs) ·       Traveling compatibility and how that reveals relational ease ·       Learning to self-regulate instead of outsourcing emotional regulation ·       Missing daily co-regulation but recognizing growth ·       Letting go of shame around aging-body moments (the sneeze/cough reality) ·       Neighbor conflict and not over-personalizing hostility ·       Rejection sensitivity and the meaning we attach to social behavior ·       Practicing social gray areas: cordial vs. friend vs. enemy SOUND BITES  · "Change isn't good or bad. But it can still be hard." · "Just because I feel grumbly doesn't mean that's the truth." · "It doesn't have to be all or nothing. There is a middle ground." · "It's not a failure to rest. It's listening to my body."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent. Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you Patricia's website, podcast episodes and more: www.unapologeticallysensitive.com LINKS  To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select "listen on Apple Podcasts" chose "open in itunes" choose "ratings and reviews" click to rate the number of starts click "write a review" Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv Unapologetically AuDHD Podcast-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/unapologeticallyaudhd/ e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com

When you hear the word growth, what happens in your body?For many ADHD women, growth has become tied to pressure. Doing more, achieving more, and constantly pushing forward, even when your nervous system is already stretched.In this episode, we explore how to reframe growth so it feels gentle, aligned and sustainable, not driven by urgency, but guided by self-trust. By relearning growth, we start to understand it's not about doing more, it's about reconnecting with a part of you that feels fluid, authentic and open to possibility.This conversation comes from a recent More Yourself live, where we explored what growth can look like beyond productivity, career or external expectations, and how to define expansion in a way that actually works for your brain and your life.In this episode, we exploreWhy traditional ideas of growth can feel pressurising, especially for ADHD mindsThe impact of constant expectations on your nervous systemReframing growth as expansion into authenticity, ease and possibilityThe invisible blocks that can limit your potential, including fear, self-doubt and internalised beliefsWhat the word "change" brings up for you, and the worries or resistance that may sit underneathHow breath and body awareness can support decision-making and help you tune into your desiresWhat could growth look like if it didn't mean doing moreReflecting on what you may be holding onto out of habit, pressure or expectationLearning what you might be ready to let go ofWant to go deeper?This episode is taken from recent monthly More Yourself live, where we explore these themes together in real time, alongside a community of women who understand ADHD and the complexity that comes with it.If this conversation resonates and you'd like more gentle, nervous-system-safe spaces for reflection, learning and support, we'd love to welcome you into the More Yourself community.Inside the More Yourself Membership, you'll be able to:Connect with like-minded women who understand youLearn from guest experts and practical toolsReceive compassionate prompts & gentle remindersEnjoy voice-note encouragement from KateJoin flexible meet-ups and mentoring sessionsAccess on-demand workshops and quarterly guest expert sessionsTo join for £26 a month, click here.

In part two of Ben's conversation with Dr Shyamal Mashru, they unpack what actually makes a good ADHD assessment - and why so many people are still waiting, misdiagnosed, or left without answers.Dr Shyamal, an NHS Consultant Psychiatrist and Medical Lead for Adult ADHD, explains what happens inside a thorough assessment, who is qualified to diagnose ADHD, and why emotional dysregulation is so often overlooked. Together, they explore NHS vs private pathways, co-occurring conditions like autism and RSD, and why ADHD rarely shows up in neat, textbook ways.We hope this episode brings clarity to a process that can often feel stressful, and inaccessible.

In this episode, Ben sits down with Dr Shyamal Mashru, Consultant Psychiatrist and Medical Lead for Adult ADHD, for a clear and compassionate deep dive into Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).Often misunderstood or dismissed as being “too sensitive,” RSD is explored here as a real, neurological experience - one that can hijack rational thought, flood the body with emotional pain, and quietly shape relationships, work, and self-worth. Dr Shyamal explains what RSD is (and isn't), how it shows up differently across people, and why ADHD brains may be especially vulnerable.They unpack the science, the role of trauma and hormones, why RSD isn't currently in the DSM, and what actually helps when rejection hits hard.If rejection feels overwhelming, confusing, or deeply personal - this conversation offers clarity, relief, and language for what you may have been carrying alone.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 Introduction01:00 Dr Shyamal Mashru's ADHD Background & Clinical Work03:15 What Surprises Clinicians About ADHD Assessments04:41 Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria Explained: What RSD Is & Why It Hurts09:16 RSD Coping Mechanisms: Shutdown, People-Pleasing & Avoidance11:44 Is It RSD or Something Else?

Insurance Denials, Unexpected Connection Hacks and a Kitten with a Foot Fetish Patricia Young (she/her) shares a "mishmash" of real-time reflections on disappointment, expectations, nervous system shifts, and the everyday emotional intensity of being AuDHD. From insurance frustrations and PDA autonomy struggles to surprising connection hacks like a digital picture frame, Patricia explores what it means to be neurodivergent in a world full of unpredictability. This episode is a gentle reminder that big feelings are valid, connection can show up unexpectedly, and sensitivity is nothing to apologize for. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · The emotional whiplash of going from calm to dysregulated in minutes · How autistic and AuDHD nervous systems respond to sudden disappointment · The impact of insurance denial and loss of autonomy (PDA profile) · Why "doing the next indicated step" can be grounding · The difference between pushing through vs. honoring rest · Patricia's experience as a verbal processor and why venting helps · The autistic struggle of wanting specificity but needing to stay vague · How gifts outside your frame of reference can initially trigger discomfort · A surprising digital picture frame "object permanence" connection hack · The neurodivergent reality of out-of-sight, out-of-mind relationships · Internalized self-judgment about what we "should" value · How accommodations from safe people feel deeply regulating · The joy of being supported without shame or inconvenience · Navigating sensory overwhelm in loud restaurants with Loop earplugs · How trusted relationships can invite novelty without dysregulation · The concept of "burnt toast" moments — when bad things lead to better outcomes · Grief, rage, and relief that can come with late autism diagnosis · The pain of expectations falling flat in relationships · Rejection sensitivity showing up even with pets (hello, Walter the kitten) · The reminder that neurodivergent big feelings are human and shared   SOUND BITES  · "My window of tolerance is increasing. I can just sit with more uncomfortable things." · "Sometimes just doing the next indicated step is how we move through things." · "I wouldn't have asked for a digital picture frame… and it ended up being a great hack for connection." · "I feel so seen and so accommodated — and there's nothing about 'you're too much.'" · "There's nothing wrong with you. You're not alone. We're just wired the way we are."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcasts Unapologetically Sensitive and Unapologetically AuDHD to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

In this week's More Yourself episode, I'm sharing something that's felt really present for me lately, inspired by an email I received from Dr Megan Anna Neff: the challenge of engaging in mindfulness on the go with a brain that can't slow down.We're often told about the benefits of mindfulness, but for those of us with ADHD, being still, clearing our minds, and “just breathing” can feel almost impossible. And instead of feeling calm, we're left feeling like we've failed at yet another task that we've set out for ourselves.So in this episode, I wanted to share a different perspective. Rather than trying to force our brains to use techniques that don't align with our brains, we can take time to explore mindfulness and find tools that are softer, more compassionate, and made for ADHD brains.Inside the episode, I explore:Why traditional mindfulness can feel inaccessible for ADHD and what to try insteadHow overthinking, anxiety, judgment and rumination pull us out of being presentThe power of validating your emotions instead of trying to ignore or quiet themTools for grounding in overwhelming moments without forcing yourself to be stillHow to name, accept, and respond to what your nervous system is truly asking forThis conversation is here to remind you that mindfulness doesn't have to look like silence or stillness. It can be a gentle walk, a sensory moment with essential oils, a few deep breaths in between tasks, or even just noticing how you're feeling, with kindness.Timestamps:00:30 - Mindfulness for ADHD01:02 - Understanding Mindfulness in Neurodivergent Minds07:22 - Recognising Overwhelm and Taking a Pause11:41 - Grounding Techniques for Anxiety14:08 - Reimagining Mindfulness Practices17:09 - Mindfulness and Self-CompassionJoin the More Yourself Community - the doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, and come home to who they really are.

 Do you struggle with chronic, painful conditions? Are you unsure of what steps to take next? Do you long to reclaim your life despite the pain? You are not alone—an estimated 1.5 billion people worldwide live with chronic pain. Pain knows no boundaries; it affects men, women, and children of all ages. It can result from accidents, illnesses, trauma, or other life events. So, how can someone continue to live well while managing pain?Vita Oyler has faced a painful condition called RSD for over thirty-five years. In addition to RSD, she has developed other chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia and osteoporosis. Through her journey, Vita has learned to focus on goals, family, hobbies, laughter, animals, and alternative strategies, all of which have helped her achieve a happy and fulfilling life. She authored this book to support others living with chronic pain, as well as their families and friends, offering hope and practical advice for a better quality of life.She is the author of Got Pain?

Hello to my loyal listening audience across the inter webs, I come to you in typical fashion as a lonesome loser on this holiday for lovers. To be completely honest I was never one to buy the whole sham about Valentines Day. I feel like Valentine's Day was made for the bros that can't cover the spread. A much needed buffer day in many relationships, I'm sure. But, me sitting here in my disc jockey chair, I see it as bogus propaganda subjugated upon the clueless lower and middle class by big chocolate and flower corporations. Maybe that's why I'm scratching my cheese alone in a room sorting Pokemon cards on Valentines Day. But who am I? Not Copernicus, that's for sure. Don't follow my philosophy or adhere to my theories unless you want to be a similarly neglected middle aged man holding his knees in a podcast room with full plans to retrieve a pint of ice cream immediately after this upload and watch Indiana Jones alone with my dog on Valentine's Day. Insider baseball.. The most expensive record that I currently own is a 2015 RSD release of Jay Electronica's Exhibit A and Exhibit C. The picture disc featuring a picture of Nikola Tesla that only pressed 1,250 copies. I noticed that Jay Electronica is doing a show near me next month and I am purchasing VIP meet and greet tickets to hopefully get this thing autographed and tell Jay that his music has moved my life in a positive light. Super sick move, kid. Thank you as always for listening to my ramblings and music selections. I hope you had a great Valentine's DayYour Host with the Most,DJ Witwicka Juan Don

People pleasing and rejection sensitivity are common struggles for adults with ADHD, especially in work and relationship settings where power dynamics and fear of disapproval are present. In this episode of Adulting with ADHD, Sarah talks with licensed therapist Billy Roberts, owner of Focused Mind ADHD Counseling, about why people pleasing develops and how it connects to rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), trauma responses, and self worth. Billy explains how many ADHD adults learn to manage fear of rejection by prioritizing others' needs, avoiding conflict, and taking on too much responsibility. While this can feel protective in the moment, it often leads to burnout, shame, and feeling disconnected from your own goals and identity. Together, they explore how people pleasing shows up in daily life, from over apologizing and over explaining to avoiding honesty and self advocacy. Billy also shares small, practical ways to begin shifting these patterns with more awareness and self trust. In this episode, we talk about: – Why people pleasing is common in adults with ADHD – How rejection sensitive dysphoria influences behavior – The "fawn response" and its role in relationships and work – Overcommitment, over responsibility, and over accommodation – Conflict avoidance and ADHD masking – How shame can make honesty feel unsafe Billy also shares practical strategies, including: – How to recognize when you are people pleasing – Ways to practice being more honest in low risk situations – Why self awareness is the first step toward change – How telling the truth builds confidence and agency – Why learning to trust yourself supports healthier communication If you often feel responsible for other people's emotions or afraid to speak up at work or in relationships, this episode offers a compassionate and realistic starting point for understanding why — and how to begin changing it.

In this episode, Pete and Nikki unpack why that boom-and-bust cycle hits so hard for ADHD brains: the early dopamine of a new system (or a newly organized sock drawer), the unrealistic maintenance expectations baked into most productivity advice, and the emotional crash that follows when the setup doesn't hold.They dig into the real trap underneath the resolution mindset—living in the gap between who you were yesterday and who you hope to be tomorrow—and how to pull your attention back to the only place you actually have leverage: today. Along the way, they talk about why asking for help can feel so risky (hello, shame and RSD), how to regulate before you ask, and what it looks like to reframe help as advocacy instead of rescue. The goal isn't becoming someone new. It's learning to support the person you already are, with more time, more buffer, and a lot less self-punishment.Links & NotesFree download!

Unbothered, Unmasked, and Still Showing Up: Why Neurodivergent People Do the Hard Things for Others Patricia Young (she/her) explores what it means to show up for others as an AuDHDer. She reflects on value-driven behavior, executive functioning challenges, internalized ableism, grief, rest, and the deep relief of living an "unbothered life." Through personal stories about partnership, support, sensory overwhelm, initiation struggles, and authentic connection, this episode invites listeners to rethink productivity, compassion, and what real belonging looks like when we stop masking and start honoring our nervous systems. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · Why neurodivergent people often do hard things for others but struggle to do the same things for themselves · The difference between preference vs. values (and why values often override sensory limits) · A real-life example of showing up for an important ritual despite overwhelm · How gratitude and being seen can make difficult experiences feel meaningful · The "Soup Jean" metaphor: values-based caregiving and automatic compassion · Why some people are confused by generosity—and how that reflects differing value systems · Letting go of mental noise and choosing an unbothered life · OCD, intrusive thoughts, and giving your brain limited airtime instead of full control · "Not my circus, not my monkeys" as a neurodivergent boundary tool · Executive functioning struggles with task initiation (especially for autistic & ADHD adults) · How supportive partners can initiate without infantilizing · Internalized ableism and the fear of "What if I have to do this alone someday?" · The myth that trying harder fixes ADHD and autistic challenges · Compassion for inconsistent energy, productivity, and capacity · Capitalism, productivity culture, and why rest feels morally loaded · Why systems (homes for objects) matter more than willpower · Everyday executive functioning examples (milk, groceries, unfinished tasks) · When to step in to support vs. letting natural consequences happen · Communicating needs during grief without over-explaining or masking · Redefining intimacy: showing up tired, quiet, grumpy, or grieving—and still belonging   SOUND BITES  · "There are things I struggle to do for myself that I would do without hesitation for people I love—because that's my value system." · "I don't want things taking up space in my head that don't belong to me anymore." · "Just because I can do something one day doesn't mean I can do it the next—and that's not a moral failure." · "Rest isn't laziness. It's information." · "You can't screw up being you."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are. PODCAST HOST Patricia Young (she/her) was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching.

When you're running on empty, your emotions hit harder and last longer. This week on Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast, Pete and Nikki explore what happens to emotional regulation when you're already depleted—and what you can actually do about it.Building on last week's conversation about compassionate reframing, this episode dives into the physiology behind emotional dysregulation and RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria). Pete shares insights from the polyvagal theory and the concept of the "vagal brake," explaining why breathing alone isn't enough when you're in fight-or-flight mode.Nikki breaks down the differences between emotional regulation, emotional dysregulation, and RSD with real examples that anyone with ADHD will recognize. Then they walk through practical grounding techniques that actually work—from ice cold water to wall push-ups to finding safe connection with others.You'll learn why your ADHD brain feels emotions at 100% when others are at 50%, why that negative comment from ten years ago still lives rent-free in your head, and how to create safety for your nervous system when you're already overwhelmed.Plus, get the free downloadable guide: "Regulate and Reframe: A Guide for Emotional Dysregulation and RSD" with simple tools to help you ground, reset, and find your way back to safety.Links & NotesDownload Regulate and Reframe: A Guide for Emotional Dysregulation and RSDThe Polyvagal Theory by Stephen W.

In this season 3 opening episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott revisit a foundational question from the very first episode of the podcast: what makes me neurodivergent? Returning to the topic with years of lived experience, self-understanding, and community insight, they reflect on how their understanding of autism, ADHD, and neurodivergence has evolved. They explore neurodivergence as an alternative neurotype, not a single deficit, and unpack how traits often grouped under autism and ADHD — including dyslexia, dyspraxia, PDA, hypersensitivity, RSD, and hypermobility — can show up differently in every person. They discuss their abilities — challenging both deficit-only narratives and toxic positivity — and explore special interests, bottom-up processing, pattern recognition, empathy, storytelling, and deep knowledge-gathering. They discuss:Revisiting “what makes me neurodivergent?” years laterNeurodivergence as an alternative neurotype, not a single conditionHow disability is shaped by environment, not just diagnosisEnergy, hypersensitivity, executive function, and burnoutMasking, communication gaps, and being misunderstoodWhy “autism” alone doesn't explain lived experienceSpecial interests, knowledge-gathering, and bottom-up thinkingNeurodivergent culture, labels, and identityA reflective, wide-ranging conversation about disability, ability, identity, and why neurodivergent people make sense — even when the world around them doesn't.Our Sponsors:

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.

The Day My Nervous System Chose Violence (Internally) Patricia Young (she/her) explores what happens when big feelings meet medication changes, OCD spirals, and unmet needs. Through a vulnerable personal story about adjusting OCD medication, asking for support, and reacting more intensely than expected, Patricia reflects on autism, relational OCD, RSD, and trauma responses. She also discusses how to hold grief and joy at the same time, how to create meaning when life is profoundly unfair, and why it's okay to share joy without making yourself smaller. This episode is a compassionate reminder that awareness, baseline tracking, and self-permission are key tools for sensitive and neurodivergent people navigating relationships, mental health, and change. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · Big reactions aren't character flaws — they're often signals, especially for autistic and OCD brains · Medication changes can remove protective buffers, even when life circumstances are stable · Asking for what you want can activate PDA, RSD, and old relational wounds · OCD often pulls in "evidence" and tallying to justify emotional pain · Feeling justified doesn't mean the story is accurate — it means the feelings are loud · You can manage your behavior externally while still experiencing internal emotional chaos · Walking, movement, and problem-solving can help — but they don't erase vulnerability · A "hard day" doesn't mean failure — it means data · Knowing your emotional baseline is critical when adjusting meds · It's okay to decide that you don't want more days like that · You don't have to accept injustice to learn how to live alongside it · Two truths can exist at the same time: devastation and joy · Therapy and coaching work best when clients feel safe giving feedback · Neurodivergent-affirming practitioners change the entire therapeutic experience · You don't have to make yourself small to protect others from discomfort SOUND BITES   · "It wasn't about the coffee — it was about how big everything felt in my body." · "The bigger my feelings got, the more justification my brain wanted." · "This hasn't been my baseline — and that matters." · "I don't think this is something you ever 'accept,' but you can still create meaning." · "I don't want to live a life where I write people off when I'm overwhelmed."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.

If you have ADHD and your emotions feel overwhelming, fast, or hard to control—you're not broken, lazy, or “too sensitive.” In this episode of Therapy in a Nutshell, I explain the brain science behind ADHD and emotional dysregulation—including delayed prefrontal cortex development, dopamine and norepinephrine differences, rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), and why emotions can hit before your “brakes” have time to turn on. Up to 70% of people with ADHD struggle with emotional regulation, and there are real neurological reasons why. I'll break down: Why ADHD emotions feel so intense and reactive How executive dysfunction affects impulse control, frustration tolerance, and emotional recovery What rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) is and why criticism can feel physically painful Biological triggers that worsen emotional dysregulation (sleep, hunger, sensory overload) ADHD emotional “superpowers” that often get overlooked Looking for affordable online counseling?

In today's episode, I'm joined by Steev Hodgson, certified ADHD coach and founder of DOSE, an app built to support how an ADHD brain actually works. We talk about why ADHD is so often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or ignored, and how that confusion shows up in emotional regulation, executive function, and rejection sensitivity. Steev shares his own late diagnosis, how coaching thousands of clients sharpened his self awareness, and why real time tools matter when emotions spike. We also unpack RSD, practical techniques for regulating reactions, and how awareness can turn what feels like a weakness into a measurable advantage at work and at home.

The Holidays: A Group Project My Nervous System Didn't Agree To In this New Year's episode, Patricia Young (she/her) explores why the holiday season can be especially challenging for autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD nervous systems. Through personal stories about gift giving, overstimulation, masking, PDA, rejection sensitivity, and the need for sameness and predictability, she unpacks how small changes and social expectations can quietly dysregulate neurodivergent people. The episode also includes updates on her purple hair and tattoo, reflections on attunement and fairness, and a gentle alternative to New Year's resolutions—offering practical categories for reflection that center self-compassion, regulation, and realistic support. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE · Why holidays are uniquely overstimulating for neurodivergent nervous systems · How transitions, visitors, and disrupted routines impact regulation · The role of predictability, sameness, and visual memory in autistic well-being · Why gift giving can activate PDA, executive dysfunction, and shame · How attunement in gift giving can feel deeply regulating—and deeply stressful · The pressure to perform gratitude and enthusiasm while masking discomfort · Why opening gifts in front of others can be overwhelming for autistic adults · How fairness, justice sensitivity, and reciprocity complicate holiday dynamics · The emotional labor involved in "doing it right" socially · How body doubling supports assertiveness and nervous system regulation · Why small environmental changes can create disproportionate stress · The difference between order as regulation versus control · How animals, sensory joy, and flexibility can increase tolerance for chaos · Reflections on regret, learning, and doing things differently over time · Why curiosity and problem-solving are often misunderstood in autistic communication · How rejection sensitivity and object permanence affect relationships · A compassionate alternative to New Year's resolutions · Reflective life categories including health, finances, relationships, self-care, creativity, home, and novelty · Why survival mode is sometimes the only valid goal · A reminder that sensitivity is wiring—not a flaw   SOUND BITES ·       "Our nervous systems really do best with sameness, repetition, and predictability." ·       "Masking is all about making other people feel comfortable—and that's a lot of work." ·       "Regret doesn't mean you did something wrong. It means you're learning." ·       "You have a right to be regulated, dysregulated, organized, disorganized, content, or discontent." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.

Topics covered include: self-care, self-compassion, boundaries, perfectionism, mindfulness, communication, and creating a lifestyle that honors you Patricia's website, podcast episodes and more: www.unapologeticallysensitive.com  LINKS  To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select "listen on Apple Podcasts" chose "open in itunes" choose "ratings and reviews" click to rate the number of starts click "write a review" Website--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook-- https://www.facebook.com/Unapologetically-Sensitive-2296688923985657/ Closed/Private Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram-- https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube-- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber Tik Tok--https://www.tiktok.com/@unapologeticallysensitiv Unapologetically AuDHD Podcast-- https://unapologeticallysensitive.com/unapologeticallyaudhd/ e-mail-- unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive Music-- Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com
