The Stress Bucket (And How to Stop It from Overflowing)


Listen Later

Overwhelm is one of the biggest parts of the ADHD experience and it doesn't always look the way we expect. In this episode I talk about what's actually driving overwhelm, why your child falls apart at the end of the day, and how to start reducing the load so they have more capacity for the hard stuff.

In this episode: 

  • The ladder analogy 

  • why your child loses it over "nothing" 

  • What contributes to overwhelm in ADHD 

  • The difference between escaping and regulating 

  • Identifying triggers and hazards with your child  

  • Simplifying as an overwhelm support tool
