1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Dave is joined by Dana Hargus, founder of Restore Ada and an expert in trauma-informed wellness. Together, they explore how the body &quot;keeps the score&quot; of stress and trauma, the physiological signs of a dysregulated nervous system, and practical modalities like biofeedback and neurofeedback to help busy individuals with ADHD regain their sense of self. Key Discussion Points The Reality of Burnout: Burnout is often more than just being &quot;tired&quot; It is a complex state of chronic stress that can be rooted in unresolved trauma. The ADHD Connection: High-performers with ADHD often operate in a state of constant mental racing, which can mask the subtle physical signs of systemic overload. The Body Keeps the Score: Even if a person does not have a verbal memory of a traumatic event, the body can retain the physiological impact, often manifesting as chronic pain, migraines, or digestive issues. Nervous System Dysregulation: Dana explains &quot;fight, flight, or freeze&quot; modes and how a dysregulated system perceives minor stressors as major threats. Practical Self-Regulation: * Morning Routine: Using the first five minutes of the day for gratitude and positive framing. The &quot;Sleep is King&quot; Rule: Establishing strict routines, avoiding screens, and aiming for rest by 11:00 PM. Grounding: The physical benefits of letting sunlight hit your face and placing bare feet on the earth to lower inflammation. Introduction to Biofeedback for ADHD: An overview of how neurofeedback uses electrodes to monitor brain waves and &quot;exercise&quot; the brain to improve focus, sleep, and stress management. **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one?
