58: How to Break the ADHD Frantic Crash Cycle for Good

from ADHD with Jenna Free · host Jenna Free, Canadian Certified Counselor | ADHD Therapist & Coach

You wake up already behind, spin into frantic mode, then crash. If that cycle feels like just who you are, it isn't, and this episode explains why. I'm breaking down the ADHD frantic crash cycle: what's driving it, why pushing through the frantic phase makes the crash worse, and what it looks like to start healing nervous system dysregulation instead of just coping with it.
