The ADHD Alchemist & The Tangled Threads: Episode Three
Manage episode 519484947 series 3397326
Ever wonder why ADHD never seems to show up by itself? Why your days feel like a mix of executive dysfunction, anxiety spirals, sensory overwhelm, trauma echoes, mood swings, and a dash of “Is this ADHD or something else entirely?” You’re not imagining it. You’re carrying more than one thread.
In this episode, step into The Loom Room, where threads stretch, tangle, and weave themselves into patterns you’ve been feeling for years. Here, ADHD isn’t a single strand but part of a larger tapestry—one woven with anxiety, depression, sensory sensitivities, trauma responses, AuDHD traits, hormonal shifts, and more.
Guided by the ADHD Alchemist, you’ll discover enchanted tools for working with the threads instead of trying to yank them apart:
🧵 A visibility thread for bringing reminders into view so anxiety doesn’t pull the loom off-course
🧵 A cooling thread for easing emotional tension before the fabric warps
🧵 A recovery thread woven intentionally so burnout doesn’t snap the warp
🧵 A repair thread for mending frayed edges with compassion, not perfection
You’ll also uncover how hormonal shifts—PMDD, menstrual cycles, perimenopause—tighten the tension on the loom and shape the patterns beneath your day-to-day life. And most importantly, The Loom Room reminds us that tangled threads aren’t mistakes. They’re part of the story. When you learn to weave with them, a new pattern begins to emerge.
