Still Worthy: Rejection, RSD & Self-Trust is a 4-week therapy group designed for Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD women and gender-diverse adults who experience rejection sensitivity, emotional intensity, or a strong fear of disappointing, upsetting, or being misunderstood by others.
You are welcome whether you are formally diagnosed, self-diagnosed/self-identified, or currently exploring whether Autism or ADHD fits your experience. A formal diagnosis is not required to participate.
For many neurodivergent people, experiences of rejection do not happen in isolation. Years of masking, adapting, people-pleasing, navigating complicated friendships and relationships, receiving confusing feedback, or feeling “too much” or “not enough” can shape how we respond to criticism, conflict, disconnection, and perceived rejection.
We also recognize that neurodivergence and gender can shape experiences of masking, belonging, relationships, communication, safety, and being misunderstood. Participants are invited to explore these experiences in ways that honor their individual identities without assumptions about gender, presentation, or lived experience.
Throughout the group, we will explore Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) through a neurodivergent-affirming, gender-affirming, and trauma-informed lens. Together, we’ll explore the connections between rejection sensitivity, masking, perfectionism, friendships and relationships, workplace experiences, emotional regulation, and the cumulative impact of being misunderstood.
Participants will learn to recognize their own rejection-sensitivity patterns, understand what is happening in their body and nervous system, practice responding to rejection without abandoning themselves, and develop tools for communication, boundaries, self-compassion, self-trust, and recovery.
Each week will include a combination of psychoeducation, group discussion, creative and art-based exploration, mindfulness, somatic practices, and practical skills that can be used outside of group.
You do not need to become less sensitive to be worthy. This group is about understanding yourself more deeply, caring for your nervous system, building self-trust, and remembering that rejection does not determine your worth.

Group Therapy FAQs
Why Group Therapy?
Group therapy offers connection, shared humanity, and perspective. You’ll learn from others’ stories, receive support, practice communication skills, and feel less alone in your journey. Many participants say group helped them feel seen in a way individual therapy never had.
Is It Normal to Feel Nervous?
Absolutely. Vulnerability is courageous. Our therapists create a warm, confidential, and supportive environment to help ease those nerves.
Do I Need to Pay for the Group?
Yes. You may use insurance (we are in-network with BCBS, UCare, Medica, Mayo Medica, TriCare, United Health, Health Partners, Aetna, Preferred One).
If using insurance, you’ll complete one individual therapy session at Flourish to establish care.
