Episode 7: Nervous System Regulation

Episode 7: Nervous System Regulation

In this 7th episode of Neurodivergent Struggles, Dr. Kojo Sarfo and Emily explore how neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism, often use substances and sex to regulate their nervous systems. They explain how these behaviors can temporarily provide dopamine and a sense of calm, helping manage internal restlessness and emotional intensity.The conversation dives into how self-medication, whether through alcohol, THC, stimulants, or sexual activity, can quickly become compulsive or addictive. The hosts discuss why neurodivergent individuals may struggle with moderation, as well as the impact of rejection sensitivity, mismatched sex drives in relationships, and how undiagnosed neurodivergence can contribute to risky patterns of behavior.The episode closes with a focus on awareness and treatment, emphasizing that understanding one’s neurodivergence and seeking proper support can be life-changing, even later in life.Find us on all platforms at: @neurodivergentstruggles
