If you live with ADHD or AuDHD, rejection sensitivity can show up in ways that feel sudden, overwhelming, and hard to explain. A comment, a delay in response, a shift in tone, or the sense that you’ve disappointed someone can trigger a strong emotional and physical reaction, even when part of you knows you’re probably safe.

Rather than trying to reason your way out of the reaction or tell yourself you’re overthinking, “I Am Safe” focuses on restoring a felt sense of safety in the body.

The hypnosis gently reinforces safety cues and helps you relax. It’s particularly helpful if rejection sensitivity shows up as anxiety, spiralling thoughts, shutdown, people-pleasing, or a strong urge to fix, explain, or withdraw.

You don’t need to concentrate perfectly for this to work. Simply listening allows your nervous system to practise settling. Many people find it most helpful to use this recording in the evening, before sleep, or after emotionally charged interactions, when the body is still holding the response.

This isn’t about making rejection sensitivity disappear. It’s about helping your system feel safe enough to recover more quickly, with less self-criticism and less emotional fallout.

“I Am Safe” is designed to be listened to regularly. Repetition matters more than insight here. Over time, it helps your nervous system learn that these moments can pass without you having to brace, fix, or collapse inward.

Never listen whilst driving.
