People with ADHD often get labeled as “not listening,” but the truth is much more neurologically complex. 💛
Many individuals with ADHD also experience auditory processing disorder (APD) — a difference in how the brain interprets sounds, not how the ears hear them.

This makes verbal instructions hard for two main reasons:

🧠 Working memory challenges
ADHD affects the brain’s ability to hold and manipulate information in the moment. When directions are long, fast, or indirect, the brain may drop pieces before they fully register.

🎧 Auditory processing delays
With APD, the brain needs extra time to decode speech, filter out background noise, and figure out which words matter. So when someone says something once, it may not land in real time — not because the person isn’t paying attention, but because their brain is still processing.

These two conditions often occur together because both involve differences in the brain’s attention and sensory pathways. The result?
Difficulty following multi-step directions, missing parts of conversations, needing things repeated, or appearing “zoned out” during verbal tasks.

It’s not intentional. It’s neurological. And with the right support, tools, and patience, processing becomes so much easier. 💙

Some of the quietest people in therapy are carrying the loudest storms inside 🌧️
Silence can look calm on the outside, but inside it’s often a pressure cooker 💥

Many people learn to stay quiet because it felt safer than speaking up… until all those unspoken feelings stack, tighten, and eventually explode 🔥
Explosions don’t come from nowhere — they come from people who were never given space to feel or fall apart safely 💛

Therapy helps you release the pressure in small, honest moments so you don’t reach that breaking point again ✨

Your quiet doesn’t mean you’re okay.
Your feelings deserve space. Your voice deserves volume 💬🌿

Holiday season can make your whole family feel like a live psychology textbook 😅
Too many people, too much noise, not enough routine… and suddenly everyone looks “diagnosable.”
The pacing, the over-talking, the reorganizing, the shutting down — it’s not a disorder.
It’s overstimulation, stress, and everyone coping the best they can.

Take breaks, step outside, and give each other grace.
People aren’t diagnoses. Families aren’t case studies.

If you take your ADHD medication on an empty stomach and feel sick shortly after, there is a science backed reason.

Stimulant medications increase dopamine and norepinephrine to improve focus, but they also activate the nervous system and raise stomach acid levels. When no food is present, this can irritate the stomach lining and trigger nausea. These medications also suppress appetite, which can lead to low blood sugar. Low blood sugar alone can cause queasiness, dizziness, shakiness, and fatigue.

Eating before your dose helps protect the stomach, stabilize blood sugar, and slow absorption so the medication feels smoother and more tolerable.

If nausea continues even when you eat, your dose or timing may need to be adjusted. Live Well Therapy focuses on helping you feel mentally clear without sacrificing your physical comfort.

The holidays can be a beautiful time — but they can also bring stress, old family dynamics, sensory overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion. If you find yourself feeling “off,” you’re not alone. Here are a few gentle reminders to help you care for your mental health this season:

🕊️ 1. Set Boundaries (and honor them).
It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to leave early. It’s okay to protect your peace. Boundaries aren’t walls — they’re pathways to healthier interactions.

💛 2. Create moments of solitude.
Even five minutes of deep breathing, a quick walk, or stepping outside for fresh air can reset your nervous system.

🍽️ 3. Choose connection, not perfection.
Holiday pressure makes us chase an ideal. Instead, focus on small moments of joy, presence, and genuine connection.

🗣️ 4. Prepare for challenging conversations.
If certain topics or relatives trigger you, rehearse gentle responses like:
“I’d rather not get into that today,” or “Let’s talk about something lighter.”

💤 5. Prioritize rest.
Crowded rooms and busy schedules drain energy faster than usual. Give yourself permission to rest without guilt.

💜 6. Remember: you’re allowed to have boundaries with family too.
Biology doesn’t override emotional well-being. You can love people and still need space.

If the holidays bring up more than you expected, we’re here to help you navigate, process, and feel supported.
You don’t have to go through it alone.
