10: How to Regulate Your ADHD Nervous System During Hard Times

10: How to Regulate Your ADHD Nervous System During Hard Times

When something genuinely hard happens, your ADHD nervous system makes it harder. Because a dysregulated brain is working against the exact thinking you need most. This episode is for anyone with ADHD who is in the middle of a hard season and can't figure out why regulation feels so out of reach.

I get into why your brain might actually be holding onto the dysregulation, including the guilt of feeling calm when you think you shouldn't be, what ADHD survival mode is for and why it's useless for most modern problems, and how fighting reality keeps your prefrontal cortex offline when you need it to solve things. Regulation won't take the hard away. But it can take the layer of ADHD fight-or-flight response off the top so you can actually move.

08:03 - ADHD Survival Mode and Why It Backfires
