Support for Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)
Helping emotionally sensitive, high-achieving adults understand their nervous system, reduce emotional overwhelm, and build resilience around rejection, criticism, and perceived failure
A calm, neuroscience-informed coaching approach — not therapy, not self-help clichés.
Living with RSD Can Feel Exhausting and Isolating
If you experience intense emotional reactions to rejection, criticism, or perceived disapproval, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken.
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria often shows up as sudden emotional pain, rumination, shame, withdrawal, people-pleasing, or a feeling of “something is wrong with me” after even small interactions. Many people with RSD are thoughtful, capable, and deeply empathetic — yet feel emotionally hijacked in moments that seem easy for others.
This work is for people who want to understand why this happens and learn how to respond differently, without suppressing who they are.
A Nervous-System-Informed Approach to RSD
This coaching is grounded in neuroscience, emotional regulation, and lived experience — not motivation, positive thinking, or “just toughen up” advice.
Together, we focus on:
Understanding how RSD affects the brain and nervous system
Reducing emotional overwhelm and shutdown after triggers
Developing internal safety and self-trust
Creating space between emotional reactions and self-worth
Building sustainable tools for relationships, work, and daily life
This is not about eliminating sensitivity.
It’s about learning how to work with it rather than being ruled by it.
Who This Coaching Is For
-
Adults who identify with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria
-
Individuals with ADHD or high emotional sensitivity
-
People who feel derailed by criticism, conflict, or perceived rejection
-
Those who are self-aware but still struggle emotionally
-
People seeking support outside of traditional therapy
This coaching is especially helpful if you’ve already tried self-help strategies but still feel stuck in the same emotional cycles.
What Working Together Looks Like
RSD coaching is offered as a structured, supportive coaching relationship focused on awareness, regulation, and change over time.
This is not about fixing you.
It’s about helping you feel steadier, clearer, and more grounded in yourself.
Sessions are:
-
One-on-one
-
Calm, collaborative, and non-judgmental
-
Focused on real situations you’re navigating
-
Designed to build skills you can actually use
Why I Do This Work
I work with RSD because I understand how deeply it can affect relationships, confidence, and self-worth — especially for thoughtful, high-functioning people.
My background in healthcare, coaching, and nervous system education allows me to approach RSD with both compassion and structure. My goal is to help you make sense of your internal experience and develop tools that actually support your nervous system — not fight it.
Meet Our Coach
Rajesh Khemraj helps people overcome chronic pain by rewiring the mind-body connection. With 25+ years of experience, he blends neuroscience, energy work, and mindset to create real change where others have failed.
“Rajesh’s approach is holistic — no two treatments are the same, and I felt seen, supported, and actually hopeful."
- Katie R.
“After two herniated discs, an annular tear, and multiple hospitals and specialists, I finally found relief with Rajesh. His ‘whole health’ approach is unlike anything else — he listens, adapts, and partners with you to heal. If you're tired of cookie-cutter PT, this is where you need to be.”
- Paula C.
“I had persistent leg pain for over 4 months. After just 1 session, I felt significant relief — I was shocked! Now, my leg is completely pain-free. If I ever need PT again, I’m absolutely going back.”
- C.R.
