## Resource

What if trying to feel calm and quiet isn't working? What if focusing on making your body feel "safe" isn't making much difference? In this episode, I share a core shift in the ADHD Regulation approach: Regulation isn't always being zen and calm. Regulation is aligning with reality. When you are no longer fighting with reality your system can relax and just be.
