What if your anxiety isn't a separate diagnosis you need to manage on top of your ADHD?
What if it's just your nervous system stuck in fight or flight... doing exactly what it thinks it's supposed to do?

In this episode, I break down the connection between ADHD and anxiety and why I put them in the same bucket: dysregulation.

Your brain isn't broken and it's not against you. It's just confused about whether you're actually in danger. When you understand that, the anxiety starts to make a lot more sense, and it becomes a lot easier to soften.
