For adults with ADHD who love deeply, react fast, and are ready to change what happens next.
You know the moment. Your partner says something small: a request for space, a shorter reply than usual, a distracted evening, and something inside you shifts immediately. The story forms before you have decided to think about it. The certainty arrives before the evidence. And by the time the conversation is over, you are left with the familiar aftermath: the regret, the confusion, and the quiet fear that your reactions are slowly costing you the relationship you most want to protect.
This is rejection sensitivity. And if you live with ADHD, you know it does not feel like an overreaction. It feels like the truth.
ADHD Rejection Sensitivity in Relationships is a structured four-week program for adults with ADHD who recognize this pattern and are ready to interrupt it, not by becoming less emotional, but by changing what happens in the critical space between feeling and action.
Drawing on current research in emotional dysregulation, attachment science, and the neuroscience of habit formation, this book offers something that most advice on rejection sensitivity does not: a clear, specific method for interrupting the rejection spiral where it does the most relational damage, inside the intimate partnership where it hurts most.
Over four weeks, you will:
Written by stress therapist, family coach, and ADHD specialist Eva Gottrup, who brings to this work both fourteen years of professional experience and her own lived understanding of what it means to feel things this deeply, this book speaks to the reader not from a clinical distance but from genuine recognition.
If your emotional responses have ever left you feeling ashamed, confused, or afraid that you are slowly pushing away the very person you most want to keep close, this work is for you.
Sensitivity is not the problem. The speed is. And speed can change.

Over four weeks, you will:
- Learn to recognize the rejection spiral as it begins, rather than only after it has already unfolded
- Separate trigger from interpretation, and loosen certainty before it drives behavior
- Build the pause capacity that changes the trajectory of difficult conversations
- Communicate what happens inside you in ways that reduce misunderstanding rather than amplifying it
- Ask for what you need directly, repair quickly when you misstep, and distinguish genuine concerns from RSD-driven distortion
- Create shared security signals with your partner and build a relapse plan that makes setbacks recoverable rather than devastating
- Begin the process of replacing the "too much" identity story with evidence of what you are actually capable of
