The RSD Advantage

A Practical Guide for ADHD Professionals to Stop Fearing Feedback and Turn Rejection Sensitivity into Your Professional Superpower

Does constructive criticism feel like a personal attack? Does a simple email from your boss saying "we need to talk" send you into an emotional spiral? If you are a professional with ADHD, this intense fear of rejection may be the biggest obstacle standing between you and your career potential.

This is Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), an extreme emotional sensitivity that can turn everyday workplace interactions into sources of crippling self-doubt. It can cause you to avoid important meetings, procrastinate on key projects, and misinterpret feedback, silently sabotaging the career you have worked so hard to build. But it does not have to be this way.

The RSD Advantage is a practical, step-by-step guide written specifically for talented and ambitious professionals with ADHD who are ready to stop fearing feedback and start thriving. This book provides a clear framework to calm the storm of RSD and reframe your unique emotional wiring as a powerful professional asset.

In this book, you will discover how to:

Identify your specific RSD triggers at work, from performance reviews to peer interactions.

Regulate emotional flooding in the moment using discreet, office-friendly techniques.

Deconstruct perceived criticism and separate facts from feelings with a simple, memorable framework.

Communicate your needs and feedback preferences with confidence and professionalism—without oversharing.

Build genuine rejection resilience through practical, real-world exercises.

Transform the deep empathy and meticulousness of your sensitivity into your greatest career superpower.

Your sensitivity is not a liability; it is the source of your strength.
