ep.4: Riding the Emotional Rollercoaster

The ADHD Connection with Nicky Shipp & Carrie Overton

Hi, we're Nicky & Carrie, 2 ADHD coaches figuring it out together – and, in this episode, we explore emotional overwhelm….

• the extremes of the ‘mood scale'

• it’s often the little things that can trigger us

• RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) – overreaction and rumination

• how we process challenging conversations – subtext, context and reality

• the power of our self-talk

• our ‘Chimp’ vs ‘Human’

• an 'aha' moment – doing something different

We also look at helpful strategies, including:

• 'Feel, Deal, Heal'

• assessing the evidence and ‘what ifs’

• distrAction

• the zoom lens

• the ‘telescope’

• transferable skills

(and then realise we ought to maybe do a part 2!)
