Focusing on the landscape of RSD, ADHD, emotional dysregulation and its profound impact on focus, organisation, and personal relationships.
Combining her academic knowledge, in depth training and personal ADHD journey, brings to light the causes of emotional dysregulation. Discover how rapid mood shifts, often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, are a part of the ADHD experience. Learn about the brain's role in these emotional processes and how ADHD uniquely shapes our emotional responses. We discuss the idea of RSD - rejection sensitivity dysphoria - as well as Dr Russell Barkley's 'DESR' - deficient emotional self regulation.
But this episode isn't just about understanding; it's about practical, everyday strategies. We discuss ADHD mindfulness, routine structuring, and simple, effective techniques to navigate the intense emotions of ADHD. Whether it's dealing with workplace challenges or personal relationships, these insights are geared towards bringing balance and control into your life.
