Episode notes
Ambiguity From Nonlinear Data Overload
- ADHD brains take in massive sensory data non-linearly, which creates persistent ambiguity.
- That ambiguity fuels internal tension and prevents clear decision-making.
Anxiety Drives Avoidance
- Ambiguity creates internal tension labeled here as anxiety or agitation.
- That anxiety often drives avoidance behaviors that temporarily relieve discomfort.
Use Acceptance And Breath To Calm
- Practice authentic acceptance: see and accept yourself, including strengths and flaws.
- Use breathing (3 seconds in, 6 seconds out) to reduce arousal and access clearer thinking.
