In this episode, I explore the Zones of Regulation — a framework that helps people understand their emotional states, energy levels, and what they need to feel okay.
I share how the zones were adapted for me as a blind person, what each zone means (including why I call yellow the “fizzy zone”), and how I use them to reduce overwhelm, manage meltdowns, and develop more self-understanding.
I talk through real-life examples, sensory strategies, and how it has made a difference for me as an autistic ADHDer.
