Summary

In this episode of the ADHD with Jenna Free podcast, I dive into rest and ADHD, exploring the struggle between dysregulation and the ability to relax. I get into how external factors often get blamed for difficulties in resting, while the real issues may lie within our thoughts, beliefs, and nervous system regulation. I talk about how to challenge all-or-nothing thinking, the importance of finding balance in daily life, and practical strategies for achieving a more regulated state that allows for genuine enjoyment and rest.

Takeaways

  • Rest is often hard for those with ADHD due to dysregulation.
  • Chronic fight or flight states hinder relaxation.
  • External factors are not the sole cause of our inability to rest.
  • Nervous system regulation is crucial for relaxation.
  • Slowing down can help manage dysregulation.
  • All or nothing thinking can prevent effective rest.
  • Regulated rest is about balance, not extremes.
  • Rest should be integrated into daily life, not seen as a reward.
