About this audiobook
When rejection, silence or misunderstanding sends you into an emotional tornado, it can feel impossible to separate what has actually happened from everything your nervous system fears it means.
REST is a compassionate, practical guide for neurodivergent adults who experience rejection sensitive dysphoria, overwhelm, shame or the urge to react before they have had time to think.
Using the R.E.S.T. framework, Leah Rendall helps you recognise the spiral, steady yourself before acting, sort the facts from the fear and choose the next safe step. Tools including the Tornado Tracker, Drop Anchor, Flip the Script and Spaghetti Brain Method give you something practical to reach for when clear thinking feels out of reach.
This book will not promise that rejection will never hurt. It will help you understand what is happening, respond with more compassion and stay connected without abandoning yourself.
Written and narrated by Leah Rendall of Serenipaws Scotland.
