ADHD brings about many strong emotions — but few tools for managing them. Your ADHD brain may not register feelings simmering under the surface, so when the pressure builds and those emotions demand attention, the dam bursts. What follows is a sink-or-swim scenario as your brain becomes flooded and you begin thrashing around trying to keep your head above water.
You can’t control stressful situations, but you can control your reactions by building metacognition skills. Metacognition is an awareness of your thought processes and patterns. This executive function can help you monitor and evaluate your thoughts and behaviors without judgment when experiencing anger, thereby changing your emotional reactivity.
