Liberation of the ADHD Mind: S2 E18
Emotional Dysregulation
Ever had one of those moments where your brain says “go,” but your body’s like, “nah, we’re staying right here”? That’s what I call emotional flooding and freeze state mode — when everything hits you all at once, and your nervous system (or as I like to say, your inner security guard) shuts the whole party down.
In this episode, we’re talking about what emotional flooding really feels like — that spinning, shutdown, can’t-think-can’t-move mode — and how to get yourself out of it without judging yourself or calling it “lazy.” We’ll talk about how ADHD, trauma, and high emotional sensitivity all tie into this, and how to build calm before the chaos hits.
I’ll walk you through a few grounding tricks, body resets, and what to do when your brain refuses to “regulate” no matter how many deep breaths you take. Spoiler alert: it’s not about forcing calm — it’s about giving your body permission to feel safe again.
So grab a hot green tea with me, take that deep breath, and let’s talk about why freeze mode isn’t failure — it’s protection.
