A few months ago - I had a client come in for anger management issues … she was a very in tune and spiritual person yet struggled to stay grounded… all the meditation in the world didn’t seem to help…

She described her experiences of heightened emotional dysregulation in the following way;

“I feel like I have 20 youtube tabs open on my computer browser, I’m listening too and singing in my head my favourite song all while thinking about the 4 baskets of washing I have to fold when I get home and what ingredients I have in the fridge to use for cooking dinner tonight and now..... my work colleague has just asked me what milk I want in my coffee! Cue internalised explosion and externalised shut down.

I'm overstimulated and there's too much going on that I can't focus on one thing because i am focussing on everything but here I am visibility being seen to be quietly working at my desk in my office, like every one else.”

As I listened to my client describe her experience at work, I realised that she may have an atypical or neurodivergent sensory profile, which can sometimes be associated with difficulties regulating emotions and behaviours.

It was clear that she was struggling with a lot of different thoughts and tasks, and she described feeling overwhelmed by everything going on around her.

It's not uncommon for people with an ADHD profiles to feel like they have hundreds of thoughts in their mind at once, and it can be challenging to focus on just one thing when there are so many competing demands for their attention.

This can be especially difficult in a work setting, where it's important to appear focused and productive.

It's important to remember that everyone experiences moments of feeling overwhelmed and scattered from time to time, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you have a highly attuned sensory and filtering profile.

However, if you are struggling with these kinds of difficulties on a daily basis and it's impacting your ability to function in your daily life, it might be helpful to speak with a mental health professional who can provide you with more information and support.






All the best - Shann x

It's possible that "Be brave" is subconsciously a message to myself as I embark on this new venture, taking more significant steps to build a career where I support like-minded females and do it with my wonderfully eccentric and highly empathetic work colleague Lynsey.

Though in truth - I originally meant this as a message to the person reading this, "Be brave, sister!"

I am encouraging you to seek adventure and help and try one more way of finding safety within yourself. It's important to remember that it takes courage to confront difficult emotions and situations, and seeking support is a brave and vital
step towards healing and growth.

It's okay to not have all the answers and to need help in working through
challenges. Remember that you are not alone and that some resources and people can support you on your journey.

Get in touch if you need to.

Sincerely,
Shann xx
