Emotional regulation is one of the most common goals people bring into coaching. Regulation doesn't mean “=never feeling big emotions or becoming calm all the time.
 It means being able to experience big emotions without feeling hijacked by them.
If you have ADHD, nervous system dysregulation is common — and it doesn’t just affect attention. It impacts emotions, energy, and your ability to function in the moment.
In this episode, I’m introducing:
What emotional regulation actually means (and what it doesn’t) The difference between regulation, masking, and shutdown How attention, emotion, and energy are all connected A simple “pyramid” model of nervous system tools Why you need body-based tools and thought-based tools
This is just a starting point, but it’s an important one.
Let me know in the comments: What regulation tools work for you?
