HEALING 101: The Emotional Side of ADHD with Professor James Brown


Listen Later

In this episode of Healing 101, I’m joined by Professor James Brown — one of the UK’s leading voices on adult ADHD, co-creator of the chart-topping podcast The ADHD Adults, and co-author of the forthcoming book ADHD Unpacked.


Together, we delve into the often misunderstood world of emotional dysregulation and its overlooked connection to ADHD. Drawing on both cutting-edge research and his own lived experience (James was diagnosed in adulthood), he offers relatable, real-life insights into how emotional dysregulation can shape our relationships, self-esteem, work, and everyday decision-making.

We explore why this symptom is so frequently missed, how it can lead to patterns of overreaction or emotional shutdown, and — crucially — the practical tools that can help restore emotional balance. From mindfulness and breathing techniques to medication and cognitive reappraisal, this episode is full of actionable advice for anyone navigating the highs and lows of emotional intensity.
