Stop the Spiral: A Practical Framework for Navigating Rejection Sensitivity and Emotional Overwhelm

Saturday, October 17, 2026

11:00 AM to 12:00 PM Central Standard Time

In This Free Webinar, You'll Learn:

✓ Why rejection can feel so intense

We'll talk about why perceived rejection, criticism, disappointment, or disconnection can create such a powerful emotional response.

✓ The 5 stages of the RSD Spiral

You'll learn how a seemingly small trigger can progress through:

The Trigger → Emotional Surge → Story Building → Protective Behaviors → Recovery or Prolonged Shutdown

✓ How your brain fills in the missing information

You'll learn to recognize when your mind has moved from what actually happened into a story about what the situation means.

✓ Why your protective behaviors make sense—but sometimes make things worse

We'll explore reactions like reassurance seeking, defensiveness, withdrawal, overexplaining, people-pleasing, and self-erasure.

✓ How to begin interrupting the spiral

I'll introduce you to a practical framework for slowing the process down so you can begin responding more intentionally.

This Webinar Is For You If...

You frequently worry that people are upset or disappointed with you.

Criticism can stay with you for hours—or even days.

You replay conversations trying to figure out what you did wrong.

You avoid situations where you might be judged, rejected, or embarrassed.

You sometimes react quickly and regret it later.

You seek reassurance even though reassurance doesn't always make the anxiety disappear.

You people-please, overexplain, withdraw, become defensive, or ignore your own needs when you fear losing someone's approval.

Or maybe you've recently learned about rejection sensitivity and had the overwhelming realization:

"This explains so much of my life."

You are exactly who I created this training for.
