"Sensitive means able to detect things others may not be", but dysphoria means a likelihood of devastating wrongful interpretation.
In this episode of 'CPTSD Recovery: We Are Traumatized Motherfuckers', the host dives into the intricate overlap between Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD). The conversation is a deep dive into how heightened rejection sensitivity can impact various facets of life, from agoraphobia to workplace challenges. With a sprinkle of dark humour, the host unpacks how these sensitivities can lead to shutting down life experiences and hinder healing processes.
You'll find yourself nodding along as the host shares personal anecdotes about avoiding new experiences, fearing rejection, and struggling with self-expression. It's like holding up a mirror to your own experiences, offering a chance to reflect and reassess. The host encourages listeners to challenge these patterns by disclosing personal experiences to trusted individuals, breaking free from the shackles of silence and fear.
The discussion extends to how RSD can make workplaces feel like battlegrounds, with tribalism and unspoken expectations creating a minefield for those with CPTSD. The episode offers practical advice on finding environments where you can thrive without fear of rejection. It's a raw and honest look at how RSD and CPTSD intertwine, urging you to seek therapy and explore these connections without judgement.
With insights into agoraphobia, disclosure issues, lack of novelty, over-explaining, and workplace dysfunction, this episode is a treasure trove for anyone grappling with these challenges. So, if you're ready to face these demons head-on and carve out a path towards healing, this episode is calling your name.
