Relational Sensitivity Distress (RSD) names the sudden pain when connection feels at risk. It isn’t a flaw; it’s your body’s alarm. Notice, name, and slow. Ask for clarity, set gentle boundaries, and choose environments and people that communicate plainly. With radical self-care—buffers, small repairs, and compassion—sensitivity becomes guidance, not shame.

Radical self-care means designing life around your neurodivergent needs: permission to do things differently, protect energy, set kind boundaries, and choose what truly fits.

Therapy is a unique journey shaped by you and your therapist. Finding the right fit, and someone who understands your needs and identity, helps you get the most out of it. There’s no single “right way” to do therapy; it’s about your goals, comfort, and pace. With openness and the right support, therapy can deepen self-understanding, build resilience, and help you move from just surviving to truly thriving.
