ADHD Hypnotherapy

People with ADHD are 2.5x more likely to experience burnout than neurotypical, although there is good reason to believe it is much higher.

There are various reasons but a combination of lack or awareness of our own feeling and behaviour, increased stress, increased cognitive load, emotional dysregulation, sleep issues, all contribute.

I can support you to recognise the signs, create better strategies and recover from burnout.

Although not officially in the diagnostic criteria there is a lot of research emerging that shows the problems with emotional regulation in people with ADHD. It can be difficult to self monitor and have awareness of our emotions until it is too late and we suddenly become overwhelmed by strong emotional reactions. Improving our awareness and making small changes to our life, coping strategies, can help to regulate. 

Rejection sensitivity dysphoria is more common in ADHD than neurotypical population. It is an extreme response to the perception of personal rejection, and although not technically part of this an inflated sense of injustice.

It can be hard to move on from situations where you have felt rejected, and the emotional response can be extreme and feel very physical. It is associated with the lack of emotional regulation and so tools can help to manage this.

Although there is a lack of research in this area we now understand the connection between ADHD symptoms and hormones.

Symptoms become heightened and more difficult to manage with hormonal changes. Understanding this and having an awareness can help to take positive action to support these changes.
