Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is one of the main symptoms of ADHD. Real or perceived criticism and rejection feel so painful and devastating to us that we go out of our way to avoid it. One of the ways in which we guard against rejection, criticism or conflict is by people-pleasing. Yet when we constantly mask and people-please, we lose access to our true authentic self. 

People-pleasing can be a very habitual and old learned response, designed to keep us safe from social pain. But in our quest to show up more authentically and to take better care of ourselves, in our quest to set boundaries and to become less dependent on external affirmation, stopping to people-please is one of the most important new skills we will have to learn.

This audio supports you in the process of learning to stay more grounded, connected, and in touch with your own needs and feelings in social settings.
