Emotions Flow: Embrace, Don't Fight

Individuals with ADHD often experience heightened emotional responses, which can lead to reactions that feel overwhelming. This strong emotionality does not mean one cannot handle emotions; rather, it suggests a tendency to react quickly without fully processing feelings. The belief that these emotions are insurmountable can lead to a cycle of anxiety and impulsivity. By challenging the notion that emotions are too intense to manage, individuals can find empowerment in recognizing and processing their feelings without the compulsion to act immediately.
