I was lying on hard yellow grass in 38-degree heat with three kids screaming inside and ants on my arms, trying to feel my body. I felt nothing. Or I felt everything and couldn't name any of it. She concluded the problem was me. It wasn't. What We Cover Why 'just breathe' and body scans keep failing ADHD mums — and why that failure isn't yours The difference between early and late emotional intervention, and why the tools you've been given are timed wrong for your brain What alexithymia and interoceptive gaps actually mean when you're trying to regulate — and why you can't feel the water warming until the lid's already blown Why some of us start every single day with near-boiling water, and what that does to a nervous system that's been running like that for years The scheduled check-in — not a mindfulness practice, just a moment to know where you are before the day makes that impossible What to say to your partner when they ask if you're okay and you genuinely don't know The James Gross emotional regulation model — 40 years of research — and what it says about the moment you're being told to intervene What's coming next episode: delayed mum rage, the lid that blows after the stove's already off, and why 11pm panic isn't coming from nowhere Free Resources Energy Accounting Guide — mentioned in the episode.
