EP. 46: Why "Honoring Your ADHD" Can Keep You Stuck and The Misunderstanding That Makes Things Worse

What if honouring your ADHD brain is actually making things worse?

What if the relief you feel from avoiding stressful tasks isn't self-acceptance... but dysregulation running the show?

In this episode, I break down three common ways we think we're honouring our neurodivergence, but we're actually fueling the dysregulation.

There's a difference between conscious choice and compulsive avoidance. One is empowering. The other keeps you stuck.

We'll look at:

  • why avoiding things that cause anxiety (like mail) tells your nervous system they're dangerous - making the problem worse over time
  • how the panic sprinter cycle (frantic bursts then crash) isn't your natural state - it's your brain in fight or flight
  • why text message overwhelm is dysregulation, not neurodivergence (all-or-nothing thinking, perfectionism, feeling like demands)
  • the key question: is this a conscious choice I'm making, or is dysregulation making choices for me?
  • how to break these cycles by facing things with regulation work - not white-knuckling, not avoiding

You're an adult. You can do whatever you want. But when you're making choices from a regulated place, you'll actually want to do the things that used to feel impossible.
