323 Emotional Regulation: The ADHD Skill You Can’t Afford to Ignore


Listen Later

If you’ve ever snapped at something harmless, gotten lost in a scroll spiral, or felt way too much over a tiny text, this episode is for you.

We’re diving into emotional regulation—what it is, why it’s so hard for ADHD brains, and how to actually get better at it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What’s happening in your brain during an emotional meltdown
  • The SURF Method: a simple, four-step tool to help you ride the wave instead of getting pulled under
  • Why regulating emotions is the key to changing your behavior
  • You don’t need to feel good all the time—you just need to know how to feel. Practice is the path. Let’s get into it.
