Overstimulation and ADHD - How to regulate yourself!

Get in touch to see how I can help you! https://giftedwithadhd.co.uk/ In this solo episode, Juliet explores a subtle but profound shift in how she understands her own nervous system. After years of labeling herself as "disregulated," she realised that she is often simply overstimulated—and frequently, she is the one overstimulating herself. While external triggers like bright lights, noise, and crowded rooms are common ADHD challenges, Juliet discusses the hidden trap of "good" overstimulation: getting swept up in exciting ideas, research, social media, and new projects. She describes the physical sensation of entering an ADHD "vortex," where time, space, and bodily awareness completely vanish. By sharing a recent experience where a dead phone battery forced her back into reality, she reveals how we can recognise the warning signs of this runaway train and make the conscious choice to step out of the time tunnel and back into the present moment. About the Host: Juliet was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 50, after a lifetime of believing she was fundamentally flawed—without realising there was a biological explanation behind her struggles. Years of executive dysfunction, perimenopause, and rising anxiety had left her overwhelmed and questioning her own potential. Her diagnosis marked a turning point. She immersed herself in understanding ADHD and, in doing so, discovered something even more transformative: a spiritual perspective on what it means to be human. Through this lens, Juliet was able to release limiting identities shaped by five decades of misunderstanding herself. She learned how to navigate emotions—like anxiety—with greater ease. She has two-years training in counselling and now has an established coaching practice supporting adults. Blending practical strategies with grounded spirituality, Juliet helps her clients find clarity, inner peace, and the confidence to live their life with purpose to reach their full potential and thrive with ADHD.
