Rejection sensitivity dysphoria can cause intense distress &amp; ruin relationships. How can we support clients to understand and manage it.

Spicy Spaces

Spicy Spaces are online, informal discussion based learning sessions on neurodiversity related topics that are relevant to practice in counselling/psychotherapy, coaching, and other mental health and allied work.

Rejection sensitivity dysphoria is not a formal diagnosis, but it is a very common and disabling type of emotional dysregulation. It is an under-researched and oft-misunderstood symptom of ADHD, where people experience sudden and intense emotions in response to perceived, or actual, rejection or criticism.But what is it really? And how can we help clients understand, and manage, this incredibly difficult, potentially destructive experience.In this session we will:<ul><li>Discuss how our nervous system is impacted by experiences of and expectations about rejection</li><li>Explore the impact of traumatic rejection on our ability to understand anticipated rejection</li><li>Consider how hyper-sensitivity and hyper-vigilance can impact our relationships</li><li>Consider that ND people ARE rejected and why, so that we might help clients create a different narrative about their value</li></ul>This is a Spicy Space session where we focus on sharing our experiences and insights, and work together to better understand how we can work neurodivergent people. After a brief introduction, we will use group discussion to explore the topic.Places are limited to enable deeper connection and sharing. Anticipated group size is 5-12.Please note we will encourage you to have your CAMERAS ON, for this event, to facilitate open and constructive discussions amongst the participants. We recognise some may prefer to leave them off. The facilitator will ask for participants to turn their cameras on at the start of the event. Please do not feel pressured to do so if that makes you uncomfortable - but letting the facilitator know you prefer your camera off is helpful, either before, or at the start of the session.
