There's a difference between "surprises", like a birthday party or holiday gift, and a "don't tell your mom/dad" secret. The latter triangulates/confuses a child's loyalty and contributes to grooming. Know the difference.

Our words matter, and this is one of many reasons why shifting from punishment to positive parenting is so impactful.

“It’s not overreacting. It’s not attention-seeking. It’s RSD and it can feel completely overwhelming.”

For so many neurodivergent people, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) is a daily reality and it’s so often misunderstood.

It’s not just a bad day or a wobble… it’s a full-body response to feeling criticised, dismissed or not good enough, even when no one meant it that way.

💛Sudden outbursts that seem to come from nowhere
💛Avoiding situations before they go wrong
💛Replaying conversations long after they’ve ended

If this resonates with you or someone you care about then this webinar is one you won’t want to miss.

We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Pete Wharmby, a brilliant author and advocate, to guide us through what RSD really is and how we can support those who experience it.

🗓️ 22nd July | 8pm-10pm | Online Webinar via Zoom
