About this talk
A professional workshop on supporting ADHD clients and patients with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria.
How often do your ADHD clients describe intense emotional pain in response to criticism — real or perceived? Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria is one of the most discussed topics in the neurodiversity space, and one of the most misunderstood. RSD is real and, for many clients, debilitating — but treating it as “only an ADHD thing” misreads the evidence and can make our clinical work less helpful.
Dr Tom Nicholson examines what the evidence actually tells us about RSD, and its intersection with early-life trauma, attachment difficulties and wider mental health, leaving you with a more nuanced framework and practical approaches.
Note: a professional-level workshop for therapists, counsellors, psychologists and coaches; includes a CPD certificate of attendance.
