364 From Walking on Eggshells to Walking in Self-Trust

Click here to join me for Rejection Sensitivity 101: Understanding It. Soothing It. Healing It. If you’ve ever felt constantly on edge in your relationships—reading into tone changes, bracing for rejection, or waiting for the other shoe to drop—this episode is for you. Today, I’m unpacking rejection sensitivity: why it shows up so strongly for ADHDers, how it gets wired into the nervous system, and what it actually looks like to heal it in real life. I share a clear before-and-after from my own marriage—how I used to interpret neutral moments as danger, and how learning to regulate my nervous system completely changed the way I show up in relationship. You’ll learn:Why rejection sensitivity isn’t you being “too sensitive,” but your nervous system doing its jobHow ADHD intensifies rejection sensitivityWhat keeps old “walking on eggshells” patterns alive in safe adult relationshipsThe four shifts that helped me move from fear and reassurance-seeking to grounded self-trustHow to tell the difference between real rejection, perceived rejection, and someone else’s bad day Healing rejection sensitivity doesn’t make you bulletproof—it makes you discerning. It helps you stop treating safe people like they’re dangerous and start trusting yourself instead of the emotional weather of others. You don’t have to walk on eggshells forever. Self-trust is learnable. Emotional steadiness is learnable. And your relationships can become places of safety—not fear. Watch this episode on YouTube Want help with your ADHD? Join FOCUSED!
