Irrational. Too sensitive. These are some of the labels applied to those of us who are emotionally triggered by everyday moments. Whether it's a delayed text message, a last-minute invite, or a subtle shift in tone, what begins as a flicker of uncertainty can spiral into self-doubt, shame, or withdrawal. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the outside, these reactions may seem overblown. But what if emotional sensitivity is not a personality flaw but rather the result of a highly responsive and attuned nervous system? In \n\u003ci\u003eToo Sensitive\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Sasha Hamdani--known to her online following as @thepsychdoctormd--offers an accessible explanation of emotional sensitivity as well as practical guidance for how to manage it. For many people, especially those with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, emotional sensitivity may be recognized as Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). Feelings of being excluded, overlooked, or dismissed are not all in our heads--they are based in our biology. In her groundbreaking book, Dr. Hamdani introduces the first assessment tool to discern where you fall on the emotional sensitivity spectrum and offers practical tools to restore calm to the nervous system. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from psychiatry, neuroscience, and the gentle compassion of lived experience, Dr. Hamdani shares research-informed strategies to regulate emotional surges, interrupt spirals, and build self-worth and resilience in relationships and at work. Most importantly, \n\u003ci\u003eToo Sensitive\u003c\/i\u003e reframes sensitivity not as fragility but as a powerful form of emotional awareness that can be understood and transformed into strength. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eHamdani, Sasha\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSasha Hamdani, MD\u003c\/b\u003e, is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in ADHD, RSD, and emotional regulation.
