23:05 The Three Types of Regulation

Summary

In this episode, I discuss two primary approaches to managing ADHD: the band-aid approach, which focuses on quick fixes, and the transformational approach, which emphasizes internal work and awareness. I highlight the importance of understanding dysregulation and its impact on the effectiveness of ADHD management tools (yes even using calendars can get better with regulation).

Takeaways

• The band-aid approach offers quick fixes but lacks long-term effectiveness.
• Transformation requires internal work and awareness, not just external tools.
• Dysregulation can hinder the effectiveness of ADHD management tools.
• Information hoarding can lead to inaction and frustration.
• Effective ADHD management combines both external tools and internal transformation.
• Understanding the three types of regulation is crucial for managing ADHD.
• Nervous system regulation alone is not enough for lasting change.
• Transformation takes time and patience, not instant solutions.
