For years, emotional dysregulation in ADHD was often overlooked.

Some children weren’t just struggling with attention…They were struggling with overwhelming emotions, intense reactions, frustration, and emotional control.

A new study published in JAMA Psychiatry analyzed over 1,000 brain scans and identified 3 distinct ADHD subtypes.The third subtype stood out because of severe emotional dysregulation and more widespread brain differences.

What really stayed with me is this:

Sometimes the child who is called“too sensitive,”“dramatic,”“aggressive,”or “defiant”may actually be deeply overwhelmed inside.

Not every behavior is simply “bad behavior.”Sometimes it’s a nervous system asking for support.

The more we understand ADHD beyond attention problems, the more compassionate and effective our support can become. 🤍

Gratitude reminder 🤍

Of every tool in my medicine bag, gratitude is the most effective, most healing, and most transformative.

Here’s why…

Gratitude brings us powerfully into the present, fostering awareness of everything we already have here and now. And when we focus that gratitude on all the present good, we attract more of it, and shift our brains away from what may be lacking.

Gratitude opens transformative perspectives on the negativity and hurt in our past, helping us appreciate how every person and life event brought us to this exact moment in time. This can lead to liberating emotional experiences like compassion and forgiveness which ultimately set us free.

Gratitude triggers dopamine and serotonin release, the same neurotransmitters that antidepressants target. Over time, consistent gratitude practices shift the pathways of the brain to default to more positivity.

Gratitude also quiets the Default Mode Network, the area of our brains linked to over-rumination and self-judgment, encouraging the ego to take a back seat making way for our highest, most loving self to take the wheel.

Gratitude helps regulate the nervous system by activating the parasympathetic state, with every grateful thought signaling safety throughout the body.

Plus, gratitude is a 100% FREE and renewable resource.

What are you feeling most grateful for today?!? 🙏🏻✨

We start parenthood dreaming of connection.

But somewhere between
the crying,
the meltdowns,
and the bedtime struggles,
connection quietly turns into survival mode.

Children don’t ask for connection through long explanations.
They ask for it through play.

Play is how they feel safe.
Play is how they feel seen.
Play is often the shortest path back to each other.

Maybe the answer isn’t explaining more…
but playing together.

When a child seems distracted,
or an adult can’t stay focused,
the issue is often not lack of attention.

It’s the brain’s difficulty shifting states.

Delta is deep sleep.
Theta is zoning out.
Alpha is calm and ready to learn.
Beta is task mode.
Gamma is intense processing—short bursts only.

In ADHD, the challenge isn’t being in the wrong brain wave.
It’s getting stuck and not transitioning smoothly.

In Play Attention sessions,
we don’t force focus.
We don’t suppress the brain.

We teach awareness, regulation,
and how to sustain attention when it matters.

Because attention isn’t a button.
It’s a trainable skill.
If you notice:
• Starting tasks but not finishing
• Inconsistent focus
• “He knows what to do, but can’t do it on time”

Send “FOCUS” in a DM.
I’ll explain how Play Attention works and see if it’s a good fit.

Embrace your uniqueness, let go of trying to keep up to others, appreciate the gifts you have.You are perfect just the way you are!

“Healing” has its ups and downs, be patient with yourself and grant yourself the same amount of kindness that you give to others!

My healing journey was initially focused on finding balance, treating the wounds of my inner child and sobriety. However, learning to accept and love my entire self (flaws, strengths and weaknesses), letting go of people pleasing, and committing energy to self-care all help support me through the ups and downs of the healing process.

Men and women, despite their diverse experiences and stereotyped-societal roles, share a profound commonality: their humanity. This shared humanity transcends gender, encompassing the same core values, aspirations, and capacities for resilience and empathy. Both men and women possess the inherent ability to shape their destinies, forge meaningful connections, and contribute significantly to their communities. Empowerment stems from this fundamental equality, as it is rooted in the recognition that each individual, regardless of gender, has the potential to achieve greatness and drive change. Embracing this shared humanity fosters mutual respect and collaboration, reinforcing that the strengths and opportunities available to one are accessible to all.

"You can't learn anything from being perfect"

True growth and development come from embracing imperfection and learning from mistakes. Imagine perfection as a static state where there is no room for improvement or progress.

When we strive for perfection, we may become overly focused on avoiding failure or criticism, which can hinder our willingness to take risks and try new things. In contrast, making mistakes and facing challenges provide valuable opportunities for learning, growth, and self-discovery.

By embracing our imperfections and acknowledging that we are all works in progress, we open ourselves up to new experiences and insights. Each mistake we make offers a chance to reflect, learn, and improve, ultimately leading to greater personal and professional development.

Moreover, the pursuit of perfection can be exhausting and ultimately unattainable, leading to feelings of frustration and dissatisfaction. Embracing imperfection allows us to cultivate self-compassion and acceptance, leading to greater overall well-being and fulfillment.

In essence, the statement "you can't learn anything from being perfect" reminds us that true growth and learning come from embracing our imperfections, learning from our mistakes, and striving for progress rather than perfection. It encourages us to adopt a mindset of curiosity, resilience, and self-compassion as we navigate the challenges and opportunities of life.#soulwishperer

Real connections go beyond screens and Wi-Fi.💕

Take a break, say 'Hello,' and lift your head for genuine, in-person moments.💕

Offline bonds offer a unique depth that technology can't replace.💕

Balance both for richer, more meaningful relationships.💕
