Healing Hearts: Supporting Children with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria

Does your child experience overwhelming emotions when faced with even the mildest criticism? Do they withdraw after perceived rejection or have meltdowns that seem disproportionate to the situation? Your child may be experiencing Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD)—and you're not alone in this journey.

In this compassionate and practical guide, Ava Azure draws from both her professional expertise and personal experience as a mother and RSD survivor to offer you a lifeline of understanding and support while Ammanuel Santa Anna draws from years of experience and research.

Inside, you'll discover

How to recognize RSD symptoms from toddlerhood through the teenage years
Brain-based explanations that will transform how you view your child's reactions
Proven strategies tailored to each developmental stage
Practical scripts and techniques to help your child identify and express their feelings
Methods to create consistent, supportive environments that reduce RSD triggers

Unlike typical sensitivity, RSD creates intense emotional pain that can significantly impact your child's social development, academic performance, and self-esteem. This book provides the tools to help your child build resilience while honoring their unique emotional landscape.

Whether your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, autism, or simply experiences intense emotional reactions, this guide offers a roadmap to navigate challenging moments with confidence and compassion.
