RSD: The Difficult Truths

Are you, or someone you love, constantly overwhelmed by rejection or criticism - even when it’s imagined?

This could be more than sensitivity. It could be Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) and it affects countless neurodivergent people every single day.

In this powerful and practical webinar, acclaimed author, speaker and neurodiversity advocate Pete Wharmby uncovers what RSD really feels like, where it comes from and how we can begin to make sense of it.

🧠 Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, supporting a loved one or working in education or care, this session will transform the way you understand emotional responses to rejection and give you the tools to respond with compassion and clarity.

✨ Pete’s warmth, humour and deep insight make this more than just a webinar. It’s validation. It’s understanding. And it might just be the thing that helps you feel a little less alone.

Tickets are limited and this session is proving popular. Don’t miss your chance to join us live.
