Is it ADHD, or a dysregulated nervous system?

In this episode I get interviewed by Leah from Elev8 with Leah and we speak all things adhd and nervous system regulation. Leah was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age, and I am someone who thought she had ADHD for a long time, only to realise it was a trauma response. When your nervous system is out of balance, you're more likely to experience overwhelm, anxiety, and heightened stress—similar to the symptoms of ADHD. Both conditions can leave you feeling stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode, constantly shifting between hyperactivity and shutdown.This creates a cycle where it feels impossible to slow down, relax, or manage emotions, which makes it harder to focus, stay organized, or make decisions—hallmarks of ADHD. Recognizing this connection can be the key to better understanding your behavior and finding strategies to regulate both your mind and body for a more balanced life.
