EP. 49: Why You Can't Start Tasks and The Fight or Flight Response That's Really Running the Show

What if task initiation isn't actually an ADHD brain problem?
What if the reason you can't start tasks is because your brain is stuck in fight or flight?

In this episode, I break down why task initiation struggles are really about dysregulation, not dopamine deficiency or executive dysfunction.
