Summary

Hi! I'm Jenna Free, therapist for ADHD with ADHD here to share a transformative perspective on ADHD, emphasizing the importance of understanding that we have ADHD but we are also in fight or flight and that is the true problem. I discuss the concept of dysregulation and how ADHDers often find themselves in a chronic state of fight or flight, which can lead to feelings of overwhelm and paralysis. I am here to advocate for deeper internal work to achieve regulation and balance, moving away from superficial coping strategies. Today I am sharing my unique approach - learning the philosophy of The ADHD Reset is vital in living well with ADHD. From here we will talk about how to implement this in your life and beyond.

Takeaways

  • ADHD should be viewed as a brain difference, not a problem.
  • Many (all?) ADHDers experience chronic dysregulation and fight or flight.
  • Superficial coping strategies are not enough for true transformation.
  • Awareness of dysregulation is the first step to change.
  • Regulation allows for a more relaxed and sustainable way of living.
  • Fear and shame can fuel short bursts of energy but are not sustainable.
  • Finding balance is key to managing ADHD symptoms effectively.
  • The journey to regulation involves internal work and acceptance.
  • Enjoyment of life should be the ultimate goal, not just productivity.
  • Transformation is possible with the right approach and mindset.
