Episode 35: 'Reducing Our Stressors To Help Emotional Dysregulation and RSD' with Marcy Caldwell
Emotional dysregulation and RSD are two of the most challenging elements of ADHD, yet it's often not flagged up when we first learn about ADHD.
In this week's episode, Kate talks to Marcy Caldwell, a clinical psychologist and passionate ADHD advocate based in Philadelphia, PA. Marcy is the founder of ADDept.org, a blog and digital resource helping adults with ADHD create a life that works for, not against, their brains.
During today's episode, Kate and Marcy speak about:
Noticing your stress markers
Recognising how YOUR emotions work
Overstimulation and noise
Strategies to help emotional dysregulation
How emotions can derail us
How habit changes and awareness can help us with overstimulation
Using EFT tapping to help emotional dysregulation
How your emotional patterns can play out
What is RSD, and how does it show up in ADHD?
The impact RSD has on our emotions, productivity and beliefs
Tips for tracking our cycles, noticing when we're more vulnerable and regulating emotions
Honouring ourselves during our more sensitive times and carving out time on our own
