EP. 48: Why ADHDers Lose Perspective and The Survival Mode Trap That Keeps You Zoomed In

from ADHD with Jenna Free · host Jenna Free

What if the reason you can't stop scrolling, avoiding, or seeking comfort isn't a willpower problem? What if your brain is just stuck in survival mode... zoomed in so far that you've lost sight of what actually matters? In this episode, I talk about what happens when the ADHD brain zooms in and how it quietly steals your perspective on what's important. When you're dysregulated, your brain is focused on getting through the day. Not living it. The more regulated you become, the easier it gets to zoom back out and make decisions your future self will actually thank you for.
