An ADHDier course · Feelings + Overwhelm
Big Feelings, Better Recovery
What happens when feelings arrive fast — and how to find your way back.
What this course is
Not motivation.
Activation.
Sometimes a feeling shows up so fast it's like it was hiding behind a door. One second you're fine. The next second you're not, and you don't even know why.
This happens to lots of kids with ADHD brains. The feeling part of the brain is very quick, and the 'wait a second' part is still catching up.
This course won't tell you to stop having big feelings. Big feelings also mean big excitement, big ideas and big caring. We're just going to practice the part after the feeling — the coming back.

Where this comes from
Shaw et al., 2014
Emotional ups and downs are a common part of ADHD, not something extra or something wrong.
Barkley, Executive Functions
The brain's braking system and its emotion system are connected — kids aren't being dramatic, the brake really is slower.
Siegel & Bryson, The Whole-Brain Child
Naming a feeling out loud helps the thinking part of the brain rejoin the conversation.
