This article by Jonathan Hassall explains that adults with ADHD often experience significant challenges in emotional regulation due to inconsistencies in executive function. The document details how the brain processes emotions in two stages, and how difficulties with the attention network (TPN) and the default mode network (DMN) can lead to heightened emotional reactivity. It proposes practical strategies, including priming, pausing, and projecting, along with a tool called SOLVE, to help individuals with ADHD consciously activate attention and gain greater control over their emotional responses. Ultimately, the aim is to empower individuals to intentionally shape their emotional experiences.
