AuDHD, Love & Rejection: 3 Strategies for Emotional Regulation

Описание: Love and rejection can feel overwhelming for people with AuDHD, especially when Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), hyper-empathy, and nervous system reactivity turn small moments into emotional spirals.

In this episode of AuDHD Bites, we explore why love and rejection feel so intense for AuDHD (ADHD and Autism) brains, how emotional pain gets misread as danger, and why this sensitivity is not a flaw but a depth of connection that needs anchoring. This is a psychoeducational breakdown of emotional intensity in relationships, with practical tools for staying regulated without shutting down.

In this video, we cover:

Why love and rejection trigger strong nervous system responses in AuDHD
