Summary

In this episode of ADHD with Jenna Free, we discuss the intricate relationship between the conscious mind, subconscious mind, and nervous system in the context of dysregulation, particularly for individuals with ADHD. I explain how these three components can often be in conflict, leading to feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed. I emphasize the importance of aligning these parts to achieve emotional regulation and personal growth, providing insights into how to navigate this complex journey.

Takeaways

  • Dysregulation can feel like an internal tug of war.
  • The conscious mind is aware of the need for change.
  • The subconscious holds ingrained beliefs that can hinder progress.
  • The nervous system reacts automatically to perceived threats.
  • Aligning the conscious, subconscious, and nervous system is crucial for regulation.
  • Understanding the invisible barriers is the first step to overcoming them.
  • It's normal to feel resistance when trying to slow down.
  • Creating new belief systems is essential for personal growth.
  • Dysregulated behavior often stems from underlying beliefs.
  • Patience and grace are necessary in the journey towards regulation.
