Summary

In this episode of the ADHD with Jenna Free podcast, I discuss the complexities of ADHD regulation, diving into the dysregulation cycle and the impact of being in a constant state of fight or flight. I share the need for a three prong approach that includes nervous system regulation, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral changes to achieve lasting change.

Takeaways

  • ADHD regulation involves more than just nervous system regulation.
  • Emotional dysregulation is often a symptom of a system in fight or flight.
  • Understanding the dysregulation cycle is crucial for change.
  • Working on your thinking and beliefs can help alleviate dysregulation.
  • Regulation work is a gentle but long-term process.
