Impulse Control & Feral Feels EXPOSED" Final Episode of The Dysfunctional Eight
from The Salty Goddess · host The Salty Goddess
Welcome to the explosive finale of The Dysfunctional Eight, where we’re ending this series not with a whisper, but with a throat punch of truth and a side of tactical healing. In this episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret Perry takes on impulse control and emotional regulation dysfunction, two of the most misunderstood, sabotaging forces behind burnout, shame spirals, and relationship wreckage. No, you’re not lazy. No, you’re not “too sensitive.” You’re likely dealing with the aftermath of dysregulated neurofunction, and nobody gave you the damn manual. What You’ll Hear: Why impulse control dysfunction feels like a blackout, and how to override it with one salty minute How emotional regulation dysfunction isn’t mood swings, it’s your nervous system slamming the gas and brake at the same time. How to track your red flags and rewire your response systems. What it means to "name it to tame it". Why your brain keeps sabotaging itself… and how to stop giving it the keys. Why “I’m fine” is the biggest lie you tell, and how to build better scripts. You’ll also get real-life stories, tools, and snarky analogies (yes, there’s a queso emergency mention again) that help you build executive function like the salty grown-up you are. Call to Action: Download the Feral Feelings First Aid Sheet and the Impulse Override Cue Card from The Salt Vault. Start using the 60-second pause. Begin mapping your triggers and build those emotional scripts before you detonate. Because your dysfunction isn’t your identity. But ignoring it? That’s a choice. And baby, we don’t do that kind of peasantry around here.
