ADHD Distraction vs Dysregulation: What’s Really Happening?

Most people think ADHD distraction is just about losing focus.
But for many adults with ADHD, distraction is actually a sign of nervous system dysregulation, not a lack of effort.

In this podcast episode, we explore the real difference between ADHD distraction and dysregulation, and why trying to “just focus” often makes things harder instead of easier.

This episode is for adults with ADHD who:

feel constantly distracted

struggle to start or stay with tasks

feel overwhelmed or scattered

and blame themselves for “not trying hard enough”

You’ll learn:

what ADHD distraction really is

why distraction is often a regulation response

how dysregulation impacts attention

why shame makes ADHD symptoms worse

and what actually helps restore focus

This content is based on lived experience and a coaching-informed, healthcare-grounded perspective. It’s calm, non-shaming, and designed to help you work with your ADHD brain — not against it.
