Rejection sensitivity and the pro´s and con´s of labels with Colette Stevenson


Listen Later

Colette joined me in an earlier podcast where we discussed her how she stumbled across the idea for her business postagrid.com

In this podcast, we touched upon rejection sensitivity and I just couldn´t wait to get Colette back to discuss this subject in more detail.

During this podcast, Colette tells us about a time when her friend cancelled on her and Colette had such an extreme response to this feeling of rejection that she then cut her out of her life and has regretted it ever since but she didn’t know then, why she had such an over reaction to what was simply a change of plans with a friend.

Colette tells us how she came across RSD rejection sensitivity disorder in a group for ADHD women which is where she discovered that a lot of the things she had struggled with in her life, was actually related to ADHD  - She only began to find these things out 2 years ago and she says it set her free after all this time (30 years) of her thinking she was wrong.

We find out that RSD is a fairly new concept to both of us and understanding more about it now, helps us both move past this feeling of rejection in our own way.

Colette tells us how she found herself doing something maybe a lot of us doing which is doing things just to please others because she knew the feeling of rejection and she didn´t want others to feel this way but this led to her harming herself in the process – people pleasing.

We also discuss the pro´s and con´s of labels and receiving a diagnosis with a label such as autism, ADHD, BPD  and the unfortunate stigma these may come with

Check out the full episode as we delve into this topic and have some giggles along the way.
