Build Your ADHD Emotional Resilience: Help for Adults Who Feel Deeply (with Tamara Rosier, Ph.D.)

I think the inattentive adhd’er experiences depression bc 99% of the things we have to do in life we find so incredibly boring and pointless and futile bc our stupid brains don’t release enough dopamine.

Talk starts at 3:38 Wow! Dr. Rosier offered many new insights to me. I always get more out of people who actually have ADHD themselves. I've become a hurler, and it's horrible. Love the practical tips. Thanks for this.

At 77 I am constantly amazed by the insights that make me aware of the harm I am doing by being a hurler/sarcastic hder. If only ……discovery and more importantly correction had preceded my 3 divorces. Keep up this amazing work

Ironically, the multiple mid-video ad breaks really break my concentration, haha 😂

This is pretty soft advice. I have big emotions, but I do not lash out at people. When I was young, it was hide, hide, hide, hide, hurl. I learned many of these by n=1 experiment. I have a few comments...  Breathing in squares is not a good idea. You are much better not to hold your breath with empty lungs (raises stress hormones.) Instead, breathe in triangles-- in/hold/out/in/... I have lived through some heavy stuff including the death of a child, and false allegations of criminal behaviour including grooming of my daughter for sexual contact from an angry vindictive ex..  Endurance exercise is the absolute top. Go for a hike or bike ride to exhaustion... hard to be emotional after 6-12 hours of hard output. I hate her Pollyanna attitude toward sarcasm. Sarcasm arises because there is an experience of lack of alternatives. It is a very good sign for self examination, and consideration serious changes (especially of a spouse.) It didn't come up... but dogs are very compassionate when upset.

This is my first ADDitude webinar, and I really appreciated it, thank you…. Especially being able to re-watch it, as I can take time to process the information…. I felt it was clearly presented to understand some blind spots of “me”… This was very helpful for becoming aware of what I was already doing right, and where I could improve by adapting the suggested strategies to my own personal needs… Much appreciated, God bless… 🙏🏼

Great info, thank you! I especially appreciate that you know what it feels like to struggle with the emotional dysregulation. I learned so much! Now I am better able to recognize those moments so I can self correct instead of just feeling guilty and vowing to 'be better next time'...which always includes residual guilt anyway. I had to laugh at the "I hate you, and you, and you" story. It's eye opening to understand that is also part of it,,,how FREEING is THAT?!!

Water relief to hear this. So incredibly helpful. I've only just discovered this channel. You guys in the states, of course, being a bigger country and probably more developed away ahead of us with these resources compared to the UK and I've just tapped into this wealth of resources and I'm finding it life-changing

Thank you for this ❤️ Tamara I feel like we are emotional twins, I related to many of the personal experiences you've mentioned. I'm watching this for the 2nd time now and i'm sure it's not the last time. I follow each ADDitude Magazine webinar released and this has been the most significant one for me, thank you thank you thank you! 🙏 ❤️

Best teacher ive seen /heard yet

Guilt consumes me, all the way down to the most innocuous interactions, end up occupying my mind.

Thank you 🤗🤗

Fantastic. Thank you so much. Very helpful. Affirming and giving new insights...👍🙏

Out of sight out of mind is a big problem for me. And the reminder that I have this emotion, but I don’t have to act on it, just makes it so real. To remember, I wrote it down and I also put it on the background of my phone.

I dont want to fix myself. I want to be me

So much shame over having been a fire breather, especially when parenting my children.

I wish to meet you
