Deep dives
Understanding Rejection Sensitivity Disorder (RSD)
Rejection Sensitivity Disorder (RSD) is characterized by an intense emotional response to perceived rejection or disappointment. This emotional pain is felt physically in various areas of the body, such as the chest, stomach, and solar plexus, leading to overwhelming feelings of shame and unworthiness. The condition often presents an irrational form of emotional intensity, where reactions far exceed the actual trigger, affecting both personal well-being and professional interactions. This heightened sensitivity means that individuals may feel profound emotional distress even from benign feedback or criticism, complicating their emotional landscape and leading to challenges in self-acceptance.
