Transcend Therapy

Where others saw mere clutter, Margareta Magnusson spotted a moral issue: Who is responsible for what she called “the mountain of crap” most of us accumulate over a lifetime?

Her answer was definite: We should sort out and sell or give away almost all of our trinkets, T-shirts, books and baubles before we die—rather than leaving a dreary chore for friends or families.

Magnusson, a seascape painter and mother of five, was in her mid-80s when she wrote a bestselling book, “The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning.” It introduced a concept—cleaning up your own mess before you die—that resonated around the world.

Magnusson practiced what she preached. There was little left to tidy up after she died at the age of 91 on March 12 in Gothenburg, Sweden, where she was living in a retirement home. “The only thing I have to do now is talk to journalists,” said her youngest daughter, Jane Magnusson, a documentary filmmaker, who several years ago made a short film about her mother.

Happiness can feel complicated when you’re grieving.

Today, on International Day of Happiness, we're not talking about loud joy or forced smiles. 'Glimmers' are tiny moments of warmth, connection or calm that gently break through the heaviness.

A memory that makes you smile.
Sunlight on your face.
A message from someone who understands.

Glimmers don’t take away grief. They sit alongside it.

My book is out in 6 days! 🤯

I wrote this book because I believe Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) is the hardest part of ADHD. It makes you believe everyone hates you.

One tiny comment, like a friend saying they’re too busy to see you, can trigger a nervous system collapse that feels like you’re being attacked.

But you’re not being attacked. That ‘comment’ reminded your nervous system of 20,000 extra micro rejections you received when you were a child.

“You’re embarrassing yourself”
“Why are you being lazy?”
“Stop biting your nails!”
“Why are you crying?!
“Stop being dramatic”
“You’re too sensitive!”
“You’re really rude”
“Stop being weird!”
“Stop fidgeting”
“Calm down”
“Be normal!”
“Stop it!”

Even non-verbal rejections like an eye roll.

The ADHD community deserved this book years ago. So many people, especially women and girls have been let down for too long and cast aside as being ‘too dramatic’ or ‘too emotional’.

I want this book to start the RSD global conversation so that every single ADHDer has an explanation for how they experience the world.

And when they experience intense emotional pain when someone criticises them, they can use that explanation to remind themselves that they’re not broken but they are a victim of 20,000 emotional cuts simply for being themselves.

This book is for anyone who's ever been called 'too sensitive'. You have always been enough.
