Summary
Hi! I'm Jenna Free, therapist for ADHD with ADHD here to share a transformative perspective on ADHD, emphasizing the importance of understanding that we have ADHD but we are also in fight or flight and that is the true problem. I discuss the concept of dysregulation and how ADHDers often find themselves in a chronic state of fight or flight, which can lead to feelings of overwhelm and paralysis. I am here to advocate for deeper internal work to achieve regulation and balance, moving away from superficial coping strategies. Today I am sharing my unique approach - learning the philosophy of The ADHD Reset (now called the ADHD Regulation Method) is vital in living well with ADHD. From here we will talk about how to implement this in your life and beyond.
