Your brain isn’t broken.
But it might be stuck in *survival mode*.
When life gets overwhelming—especially for neurodivergent folks—your brain flips a switch.
Not to sabotage you.
To *save* you.
But the same part of your brain that’s trying to protect you?
It can also hijack your focus, confidence, and calm.
🔹 That “freeze” moment before a tough conversation
🔹 That urge to ghost your to-do list when plans shift
🔹 That 2 a.m. spiral of overthinking and “what-ifs”
It’s not a personal failure.
It’s your **amygdala** sounding the alarm like a smoke detector that goes off when you make toast.
Here’s the kicker: when your nervous system is dysregulated and outside its **Window of Tolerance**, your brain loses access to logic, focus, and decision-making.
It’s not a mindset problem.
It’s a nervous system signal.
And you can learn how to shift it.

Small shifts. Real results.
(And a lot more self-compassion along the way.)
