Why Rejection Hurts So Much in AuDHD | Becca Gregory on Rejection Sensitivity.

Why Rejection Hurts So Much in AuDHD | Becca Gregory on Rejection Sensitivity.

Why does a delayed text, a change in someone’s tone, or a small piece of feedback feel so overwhelming for so many neurodivergent people?


In this episode of AuDHD… And Then Some, Ellie is joined by licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist Becca Gregory to explore rejection sensitivity, emotional dysregulation, people-pleasing, shame, and why so many ADHD and autistic adults struggle to stop taking things personally.


Together they discuss why rejection can feel physically painful, how childhood experiences shape our inner beliefs, why insight alone isn’t always enough to create lasting change, and practical ways to begin recovering from rejection without spiralling.


Whether you’re ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, or simply recognise yourself in perfectionism, overthinking, and people-pleasing, this episode offers compassionate insights and practical hope.


In this episode:


* What rejection sensitivity really is

* Emotional dysregulation in ADHD and autism

* Why neurodivergent people often carry shame

* The link between people-pleasing and fear of rejection

* How to stop taking things so personally

* Practical strategies for recovering from rejection

* Why healing is different from simply coping
