Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you suffer from intense feelings of rejection? Do you experience deep emotional and physical intensity that is manifested without warning? Maybe you know someone who seems to be overly sensitive to perceived or real rejection and then presents irrational behaviour?RSD stands for Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. It can seriously impact the quality of life of an individual. If you experience intense emotional and/or physical pain when you perceive rejection, then you may have RSD. Whilst it is commonly attributed to those who have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and is not an officially recognised mental health disorder, the author felt it necessary to educate and help sufferers.This book will introduce you to RSD and help you understand what it is. You will discover who it affects and how it feels to suffer from it. The Beginners Guide to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, the first book in the series Understanding and Identifying Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, will also teach you what causes RSD, how rejection is really triggered, behaviours that it presents, treatments and next steps.This book has been written by someone who has experienced the challenges, intensity, inner turmoil and destructive impacts to relationships and well being as a result of having Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. Written from the experience of an RSD sufferer with a keen analytical, logical approach to solving problems, a passion for language and communication; this book is easy to read and can be used to educate yourself or as a tool to support someone else who has RSD. It is possible whilst having RSD to nurture a sense of being OK in the present moment. As stated, RSD is highly comorbid in other mental health conditions such as ADHD. 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 author shares with you, that this book is written as much for himself as it is for You. Quantifying, verbalising, analysing and disseminating his experiences enabled the discovery of an approach to circumvent RSD which is taught in later series he writes on this topic. 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 by presenting a model based approach to improving the lives of RSD sufferers.

Now, most people have heard of ADHD and know someone who may have it. But lost in the discussion of both childhood and adult diagnosis of ADHD is the potential upside: Many hugely successful entrepreneurs and highly creative people attribute their achievements to ADHD. Also unknown to most are the recent research developments, including innovations that give a clearer understanding of the ADHD brain in action. In ADHD 2.0, Drs. Hallowell and Ratey, both of whom have this “variable attention trait,” draw on the latest science to provide both parents and adults with ADHD a plan for minimizing the downside and maximizing the benefits of ADHD at any age. They offer an arsenal of new strategies and lifestyle hacks for thriving with ADHD, including • Find the right kind of difficult. Use these behavior assessments to discover the work, activity, or creative outlet best suited to an individual’s unique strengths. • Reimagine environment. What specific elements to look for—at home, at school, or in the workplace—to enhance the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit inherent in the ADHD mind. • Embrace innate neurological tendencies. Take advantage of new findings about the brain’s default mode network and cerebellum, which confer major benefits for people with ADHD. • Tap into the healing power of connection. Tips for establishing and maintaining positive connection “the other Vitamind C” and the best antidote to the negativity that plagues so many people with ADHD. • Consider medication. Gets the facts about the underlying chemistry, side effects, and proven benefits of all the pharmaceutical options. As inspiring as it is practical, ADHD 2.0 will help you tap into the power of this mercurial condition and find the key that unlocks potential.

Download or read book A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD written by Sari Solden and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Live boldly as a woman with ADHD! This radical guide will show you how to cultivate your individual strengths, honor your neurodiversity, and learn to communicate with confidence and clarity. If you are a woman with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you’ve probably known—all your life—that you’re different. As girls, we learn which behaviors, thinking, learning, and working styles are preferred, which are accepted and tolerated, and which are frowned upon. These preferences are communicated in innumerable ways—from media and books to our first-grade classroom to conversations with our classmates and parents. Over the course of a lifetime, women with ADHD learn through various channels that the way they think, work, speak, relate, and act does not match up with the preferred way of being in the world. In short, they learn that difference is bad. And, since these women know that they are different, they learn that they are bad. It’s time for a change. A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD is the first guided workbook for women with ADHD designed to break the cycle of negative self-talk and shame-based narratives that stem from the common and limiting belief that brain differences are character flaws. In this unique guide, you’ll find a groundbreaking approach that blends traditional ADHD treatment with contemporary treatment methods, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to help you untangle yourself from the beliefs that have kept you from reaching your potential in life. If you’re ready to develop a strong, bold, and confident sense of self, embrace your unique brain-based differences, and cultivate your individual strengths, this step-by-step workbook will help guide the way.

Download or read book Bouncing Back from Rejection written by Leslie Becker-Phelps and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Go beyond your fear of rejection to develop confidence, compassionate self-awareness, and resilience! Do you have a fear of rejection? If so, you aren’t alone. But if you have difficulty bouncing back after rejection, experience intense pain as a result, or if the fear of rejection is so crippling that it interferes with your everyday life, it’s time to make a change. This groundbreaking guide can help. With this book, you’ll learn why you fear rejection by gaining an understanding of your unique attachment style. Secure attachment is defined as a feeling of being protected and well-cared for. People who experience secure attachment as young children are more likely to be happy, healthy, and resilient adults. On the other hand, insecurely attached people are less likely to cope well with rejection, and may have trouble “bouncing back” after difficult experiences. Once you understand how your attachment style has informed your fears, you can begin the work needed to overcome them! Using the theory of attachment, and the five domains of awareness: Sensations, Thoughts, Emotions, Actions, and Mentalizing (STEAM), you’ll learn to relate to yourself and to others in more positive ways, even when difficult situations arise. So, whether you experience rejection in a romantic relationship, at work, or with friends, you’ll have the resilience needed to recover quickly and focus on what makes you special and unique. This isn’t a book that promises to protect you from future rejection. Unfortunately, rejection happens to everyone and is a normal part of life. But you will learn skills to handle this rejection and come to see it as less scary. With this view, you’ll gain confidence, self-awareness, and the resilience needed to bounce back, even when life throws you a curveball.
