S5 E11 - Tangled In ADHD: Big Feelings, Fight, Flight, Freeze & Fawn With Dr. Miguel Mateas

Hello Untanglers!

You know how it is, right? One minute you're fine, the next you're having a meltdown over… well, who even knows anymore?! 😂

Welcome back to another episode of Tangled In ADHD with the brilliant Dr. Miguel Mateas! In this episode, we're diving headfirst into the wild, wonderful and sometimes completely bonkers world of our Big Feelings and how they uniquely impact those of us with ADHD.

Dr. Miguel and I explore:

• The Curse and the Gift: We discuss the double-edged sword of feeling everything so intensely, from powerful intuition to overwhelming emotional responses.
• Fight, Flight, Freeze & Fawn: Understanding the various stress responses and how they manifest in our lives, especially the often-misunderstood "fawning" response.
• RSD: More Than Just Rejection: We unpack Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, exploring the physical pain it can cause and the science behind why it feels so intense.
• The Body-Brain Connection: How our emotions manifest physically, leading to everything from procrastination to physical sensations of pain.
• Moving Beyond the Mind: Practical strategies for coping with big feelings, including grounding techniques and moving beyond just trying to “think” our way out of emotional overwhelm.

This episode is all about ditching the shame, laughing at our own chaos and understanding that it’s okay (and actually powerful) to feel everything so intensely…

Let’s get untangled and show the world what we’re made of 🧡🖤

ADHD COACHING

IT’S TIME TO TURN YOUR ADHD STRUGGLES INTO STRENGTHS AND SHOW UP IN THE WAY YOU WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO!

Have you ever felt the need to change who you are in order to fit in?

me too!

And I’ve spent so many years hectically running around this world trying to be everything and everyone else but my true myself

Party girl, house wife, rebel, addict, yogi…. To name a few

Hoping that eventually, something would work and something would fix me and make me normal…

None of it ever did.

But two things in my life that have allowed me to live a more meaningful and authentic life and that is Yoga & My ADHD Diagnosis, which is why I am on a Mission to support as many individuals with ADHD to turn their struggle into strength with ADHD through Movement & ADHD Coaching.
