Emotional Titration: Recalibrating Regret for 2026

As we step into 2026, Cam invites listeners to look backward—gently, intentionally, and without getting stuck there. Inspired by conversations about “spending time more intentionally,” this episode explores how regret shows up for ADHD brains, why it can quietly consume so much of our emotional bandwidth, and how learning to titrate regret can give us time and energy to focus in more fruitful ways.

Rather than eliminating regret, Cam reframes it as a learning partner. A little sadness and disappointment can be useful—but too much quickly turns into rumination, shame, and paralysis. Using the metaphor of emotional titration, Cam walks through how to dial regret up just enough to extract the learning, then dial it back down so one can move forward into action. Along the way, he shares personal stories, reflections on time and aging, and practical ways to interrupt rumination before it steals your future.

This episode is about recalibrating your relationship with regret so it no longer crowds out hope, trust, fun, and meaningful change. If you’ve ever found yourself overthinking the past and under-living the present, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate way forward.

In this episode, we explore:

Why ADHD brains are especially vulnerable to rumination and emotional intensity
The difference between healthy regret and unhelpful remorse
How “emotional titration” helps regulate sadness and disappointment
Turning regret into learning instead of self-punishment
Reclaiming time, hope, and agency as you move into the new year
