About this listen
What if task initiation isn't actually an ADHD brain problem?
What if the reason you can't start tasks is because your brain is stuck in fight or flight?
In this episode, I break down why task initiation struggles are really about dysregulation, not dopamine deficiency or executive dysfunction.
When you're in survival mode, your brain needs urgency, novelty, challenge, or interest just to get moving. When you regulate, you can just decide to do things.
