Rejection Sensitivity and Relationships Featuring Brendan Mahan, M.Ed., M.S.

Rejection sensitivity dysphoria hits hard when you have ADHD. Small conflicts feel massive. Criticism cuts deeper. Your brain tells you stories about what people really meant, and suddenly you're in fight-or-flight mode over something that might not even be real.

Brendan will break down what's actually happening in your brain during conflict and why your emotional processing often runs ahead of your cognitive processing. More importantly, he'll share practical strategies for managing these moments before they blow up your relationships.
We'll cover:

• How emotional and cognitive processing work differently in ADHD brains and what that means for how you show up in relationships
• Communication strategies that actually help you manage conflict instead of avoiding it or making it worse
• The stories your brain tells you during conflict and how to reality-check them before you react
• Why rejection sensitivity makes you the main character in every interaction and how to step back from that mindset
• Getting curious about what's happening in the other person's world instead of staying stuck in your own narrative

This isn't about fixing yourself or pretending rejection sensitivity doesn't exist. It's about understanding how your brain works and building better tools for the moments when conflict happens.

Whether you're struggling with your partner, friends, coworkers, or family, Brendan will give you frameworks you can actually use. Expect real talk, practical advice, and strategies grounded in how ADHD brains actually function.

Mark your calendar for February 10th at 7:00 PM Eastern. This is the kind of conversation that could genuinely shift how you handle the hard moments in your relationships.
