Summary

In this episode of the ADHD with Jenna Free podcast, I dive into the complexities of regulating emotions during significant life events (think job loss, illness of a family member etc - but this can also be related to smaller but still impactful things like a stressful season at work, having a baby). I provides insights on how to navigate through hard times while maintaining a sense of regulation and clarity. I am sharing 5 things to consider when trying to regulate through more than the everyday stress of life.

Takeaways

  • Regulating through big life events is crucial for mental health.
  • Dysregulation can feel justified during tough times, but it's important to recognize it.
  • Grief is a natural human experience that cannot be bypassed through regulation.
  • Regulation helps in observing and managing survival mode during crises.
  • Acceptance of reality is key to moving forward after a setback.
