How can we hack our Rejection Sensitivity and take control of our reactions? In this episode, Alex chats to two renowned psychologists, Dr Mark Rackley and Dr Jo Perkins.

In this powerful conversation, Mark and Jo explain the science behind RSD, how we can become masters of our emotional reactions, why people pleasing is the avoidance of criticism, how we can conquer our internal critic and how we can stop ruminating over past mistakes.

We also explored the fascinating topic of how RSD can dip into the realm of paranoia.
