Podcast: ADHD with Jenna Free
Published On: Mon Apr 21 2025
Description: You snap at someone you love over something small, or cry at dinner and don't know why. You're at your limit before the day has barely started, and one more thing sends you completely over the edge. If emotional dysregulation feels like your biggest ADHD struggle, this episode is for you. I'm going to break down why ADHD and emotional dysregulation are so deeply connected, how fight or flight keeps your nervous system full before anything even happens, and why your reactions make a lot more sense than you've been told. When you understand what's underneath, everything starts to look different.
