RSD, Relationships & Abuse: When Rejection Goes Deeper | Part 2

🎧 Watch/Listen to Part 1 here:    • Why Does Rejection Hurt So Much? | RSD & A...   In Part 2 of our conversation about rejection sensitive dysphoria, things get a little deeper. Lara and Emma continue talking about RSD, emotional sensitivity and relationships - but the conversation also moves into experiences of abuse and the way our past can affect how rejection, criticism and conflict feel in the present. Sometimes understanding yourself differently means looking backwards differently too. We talk honestly from our own lived experience. We’re not doctors or therapists and we’re not diagnosing anyone - ourselves included. CONTENT NOTE: This episode contains discussion of abuse and abusive relationships. Please listen with care.
