how to interact with someone suffers from intense rejection Written from the experience of someone who overcame RSD, this book is easy to read and can be used to educate yourself or as a tool to support someone else. RSD is highly comorbid in ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). This book intentionally focuses on RSD as there is very limited written material for RSD in isolation and yet would be valuable to so many sufferers. Those who suffer with RSD live an internalised experience of deep rejection. This internal experience is manifested at quantum speeds, with deep emotional pain and intensity experienced almost instantly with little understanding of how the mind got there so quickly. The only control we have is internal. The reader is asked to believe in the possible and suspend any beliefs that RSD is a chemical brain imbalance that cannot be improved or thrived from. The accepted norm of chemical brain dysfunction is that we can do nothing about it. The author, whilst recognising that this may be true, challenges the collective acceptance within his books in this series.
