ADHD Information Overload and Paralysis: Breaking the Freeze and Starting Again


Listen Later

Information overload can trigger ADHD paralysis — especially for adults who genuinely want to move forward but feel stuck before they even begin. In this episode of ADHD Support Talk Radio, Tara McGillicuddy explores how too much ADHD advice, too many strategies, and too many options can overwhelm the ADHD brain and block task initiation. When everything feels important, nothing gets started. You'll learn: • Why ADHD information overload increases executive dysfunction • How too many productivity strategies can backfire • Why "just tell me what to do" is a sign of cognitive overload • The connection between overwhelm and task initiation paralysis • How narrowing your focus to one action restores momentum Tara also shares how structured action sessions and outside support can interrupt paralysis and help adults with ADHD move from stagnation to activation. If you've ever consumed helpful ADHD content but still struggled to start, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do next.
