Ever get stuck in a loop, replaying conversations, overanalyzing decisions, or spiraling in self-doubt?
You’re not alone—and it’s not just anxiety.
In this episode, Jen breaks down the neuroscience behind ADHD overthinking, how it's different from anxiety, and why traditional advice like “just stop thinking about it” never works for ADHD brains.
You'll learn:
5 brain-based reasons ADHD overthinking happens
How to spot the difference between ADHD and anxiety spirals
What to do in the moment to ground and move forward
Simple daily habits to reduce overthinking long-term
Plus, Jen shares how mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and compassionate awareness can help you shift the cycle—for good.
