For anyone who has ever felt like they are too much, a groundbreaking guide to understanding emotional sensitivity.

Overly dramatic. 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.

From 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 Too Sensitive, 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.

Drawing 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, Too Sensitive reframes sensitivity not as fragility but as a powerful form of emotional awareness that can be understood and transformed into strength.

Critic reviews

Too Sensitive is the book so many women have been waiting for. Dr. Hamdani connects the dots between brain chemistry, hormones, and emotional sensitivity in a way that is both validating and deeply practical. If you’ve ever felt like your emotions change in ways you can’t explain, this book gives you the science and the tools to finally understand why.” —Mary Claire Haver, MD, author of The New Menopause

“Dr. Hamdani beautifully bridges science and self-compassion in a way that feels both validating and usable. Too Sensitive helps you move away from self-judgment and toward self-care, offering tools that meet you where you are instead of asking you to be someone else.” —KC Davis, bestselling author of How To Keep House While Drowning

“Dr. Sasha Hamdani's work on Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and ADHD is so powerful. She really sees us, and her guidance feels so validating. This book will help you understand your spirals and learn how to turn them into your strength!”—Paris Hilton, advocate, entrepreneur, and CEO of 11:11 Media

Too Sensitive is the book so many women have needed. Dr. Sasha Hamdani brilliantly connects the female brain, hormones, and emotional sensitivity, showing that what is often labeled weakness is frequently biology. Insightful, compassionate, and empowering, this book offers a powerful new way to understand yourself.” — Louann Brizendine, Neuropsychiatrist, Best-Selling Author of The Female Brain, and Founder of the UCSF Women’s Mood and Hormone Clinic

“Dr. Sasha Hamdani sheds light on an issue so many people—and so many women, in particular—have suffered with in silence for too long. Emotional sensitivity is not a character flaw, and it is not a weakness. It's based in biology—and it is a secret strength. For anyone out there who has ever been gaslit into believing their emotions are a liability, Too Sensitive is a salve—and a lifeline.” —Dr. Judith Joseph, bestselling author of High Functioning

“If you’ve ever been told you’re too emotional, too sensitive, or 'a lot'—first of all, same. Second, this book feels like we finally have a doctor’s note and explains why we feel everything so loudly.” —Penn and Kim Holderness, authors of ADHD is Awesome
