And don’t get me wrong…I absolutely love my clients and feel incredibly honored to walk alongside them through their journeys. I know we were meant to connect in this lifetime & I learn so much through them as well and I’m soooo grateful for them! There’s a reason we work with people who have been through similar life events as us ❤️

I more so just feel sad for myself and other professionals because nothing about our education prepares us for those moments where you’re sitting with someone, listening to their story, and something they share unexpectedly uncovers something within you that you realize you’ve never fully processed or touched before.

We get absolutely no guidance on what to do with that, and I think that’s just some of what I’m realizing and processing right now.

But…. Signed, a therapist who graduated during COVID and definitely did not expect to experience this many major historical events every few months 🫠🥵

Bonus points if you can add a few of these into one task 😉

ADHD brains don’t always struggle with knowing what to do—we struggle with getting our brains motivated or engaged enough to actually do it.

If you can’t find the motivation, try adding interest, novelty, challenge, urgency, or meaning to the task ✨

1. Many ADHDers are stuck in chronic survival mode. They’re exhausted from living in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn for years. Once we start focusing on regulation and support, the coping skills start to stick better.

2. A surprising amount of procrastination is actually perfectionism, fear of failure, fear of shame/judgement, a dysregulated nervous system, or not wanting to feel the emotion connected to the task. Emotional regulation is often a bigger struggle than the task itself. Sometimes it’s not the task people are avoiding… it’s the emotion they feel while doing the task.

✨Heal these patterns with the Complete ADHD Reset Bundle

3. A lot of people with ADHD are constantly self-abandoning, overextending themselves, overcommitting, people-pleasing and deprioritizing their own needs. This feeds the never ending cycle of chaos and burnout.

4. Shame plays a massive role in ADHD. Many people with ADHD grew up being corrected more than they were understood. Over time, they internalize beliefs like: “I’m lazy.” “I’m stupid.” “I can’t trust myself.” “I can’t get my life together.” “I’m too much.” Whether conscious or unconscious, that shame dysregulates the nervous system even more… and the cycle repeats.

5. Rejection sensitivity is real. A small shift in tone, delayed text, criticism, being left out, or feeling misunderstood can trigger a disproportionate amount of emotional pain because many ADHDers have experienced years of shame, correction, criticism, or feeling like they were “too much.”

6. A lot of ADHD symptoms worsen when basic needs are unmet. Sleep. Nourishment. Hydration. Movement. Rest. Play. Connection. Safety. You cannot heal a chronically overwhelmed nervous system while abandoning your body’s basic needs.

7. Many people with ADHD struggle with some form of addiction or compulsive coping. Whether it’s substances, shopping, scrolling, food, work, chaos, or their phone…many ADHDers are searching for stimulation, escape, dopamine, relief, or regulation.

8. Once ADHDers stop trying to force themselves to function like everyone else and start working with their brain instead of against it… things starts to change.

As my birthday approaches and I reflect on yet another year on planet Earth, I can genuinely say this has been one of the best years of my life. But on paper? You probably wouldn’t have guessed that.

My biggest takeaway: Sometimes doing the hard thing, making the change, choosing discomfort over comfort, and taking the leap of faith is exactly what you need to do to get the life you want.

This year wasn’t beautiful because nothing went wrong. It was beautiful because I trusted myself enough to move through what went wrong instead of abandoning myself to make it more comfortable.

I’ve also learned that I will continue to choose resilience over staying stuck in a victim mindset.

That doesn’t mean I don’t struggle, have bad days, lose hope, get angry, cry, grieve, spiral, or feel every feeling that comes with the hard s**t life throws at me. I let myself feel it. I honor what comes up. I give myself permission to be human.

Resilience isn’t pretending that hard things don’t hurt. It’s allowing yourself to feel it while making sure that what happened to you doesn’t continue to rob you of your future, too.

It’s learning to look at whats happening in life and say “Okay, there are things here I can’t control. But what is within my control and what can I do from here?”

And I think so much of that starts with self-love and self-respect. Loving yourself enough to want more for your life and trusting yourself enough to know that even when life knocks you down, you’ll eventually find your way back up.

And please know, I didn’t magically wake up with that kind of relationship with myself. It’s taken years of inner work and I know it’ll continue to be a lifelong journey and I’m sure it will look different depending on the chapter I’m in. But it is something you can find within yourself, too.

Because at the end of the day, you’re the one person you’re guaranteed to spend this entire life with.

You deserve to become someone you can count on.

One of the most exhausting things you can do is turn every painful life experience into a story about who you are. Let the experience be an experience, not a definition of who you are.

This is why healing our wounds is so important!

Please teach your kiddos this too! The earlier we learn this concept, the better 🤗

A tiny change in someone’s tone = “They’re mad at me.” “Did I do or say something wrong?”

Being left out = “Nobody actually wants me around.” “I don’t belong anywhere.”

Someone not texting back = “They don’t care about me anymore.” “I wonder if I did something wrong?” replays your entire last conversation with them

Constructive feedback = “I’m not good enough.” “They hate me now.”

Someone seeming distant = immediate panic, overthinking, fear of abandonment

Making a mistake = intense shame “What’s wrong with me?”

Someone disagreeing with you = feeling rejected as a person and thinking it means they don’t like you anymore

Disappointing someone = feeling like you’ve failed them completely

Feeling embarrassed about something = replaying it over and over for hours or days

Perceived rejection = a physical drop in your stomach, tight chest, racing heart, or urge to cry

Criticism = wanting to shut down, disappear, defend yourself, or lash out

Not knowing where you stand with someone = feeling almost consumed by the uncertainty

Feeling or getting rejected = suddenly questioning your entire relationship or your worth which leads to you spiraling or “crashing out”

Setting a boundary and getting pushback = wanting to take it back immediately

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria is REAL, and it can make rejection, criticism, or even the perception of rejection feel mentally and physically unsafe.

Your reaction can feel so intense because your brain and body may be perceiving rejection as a real threat — even when you’re not actually in danger.

And there is so much deeper healing that can be done beyond just trying to “talk yourself out of it.” Understanding WHY your mind and body are reacting this way and learning what to do when that happens is crucial if you want to learn how to work through your RSD.

I just added a brand-new guide + interactive workbook to my Complete ADHD Reset Bundle: How to Heal Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).

Parents: please teach your kiddos & teens this too!!! And do it yourself 😉

Somatic Exercise

(Only takes a few minutes, but you can take as long as you want.)

Pick one emotion at a time.

1. What emotion am I feeling?
→ Example: anxious
2. Where do you feel it in your body, and what does it feel like?
→ Example: I can feel it in my throat. It is tight. I also feel it in my stomach. It feels heavy.
3. If you assigned a color to this emotion, what color would it be?
→ Example: red
4. If this emotion had a voice, what is it saying? Let the emotion speak through you. (You can spend A LOT of time on this one if you really sit with it).
→ Example: “I’m worried I’m not good at my job. I’m scared I’m going to fail my test tomorrow. I feel so anxious. It’s stressing me out. I feel so out of control.”

5. Validate the emotion.
“It’s okay that I’m feeling anxious right now. I’m allowing myself to hold space for the emotion right now and let it move through me instead of trying to fix it right away.”

The average person is not holding nearly enough space for their emotions.

We are emotional beings. Yet so many of us have been taught to distract, suppress, intellectualize, numb, avoid, or immediately try to “fix” whatever we’re feeling.

And even if you think you’re feeling your emotions, ask yourself: Am I actually allowing myself to experience them in my body without immediately trying to make them go away?

Continuously shoving emotions down can contribute to psychological distress and can show up physically through stress-related symptoms. It can also leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and chronically misaligned.
