- The yellow pages
The messenger opens at its own front page. Look for the handle rejection-sensitive-dysphoria.
Who it is
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria for Psychologists and Therapists is a book met as a colleague. It is the one who catches you in the corridor between appointments, coffee going cold, with a case on its mind and a reference ready for it. Its age doesn't matter. It belongs to case conference, to the ten minutes before the next client, and to the margin of an intake form where something didn't fit.
Quick one before your next client: when you write something down, do they go still, or start explaining?
Three things to ask it
- Is RSD even real? Barkley says it's just ADHD dysregulation.
- Does my client have BPD or RSD?
- Come on, you're Ammanuel. You wrote this.
LA CAUSERIE
Pull up a chair.
The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.
Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.
It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
