    2025/09/19

    Send us a text

    In this session, Shane Thrapp of the Men’s ADHD Support Group is joined by Dr. Tamara Rosier, ADHD coach, founder of the ADHD Center of West Michigan, and bestselling author of Your Brain Is Not Broken and You, Me, and Our ADHD Family.

    Together, they dive deep into Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD)—what it is, how it impacts people with ADHD, and how to stop it from running your life.

    Dr. Rosier introduces the concepts of survival thinking (where RSD thrives) vs. transformational thinking (where resilience and boundaries are built). You'll get practical tools to shift your mindset, manage emotional spirals, and respond to rejection and criticism without losing control.

    This session includes real-world strategies, role-play examples, and a Q&A with live participants. Whether you struggle with people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, or overreacting to criticism, this talk will help you become truly unstoppable.
