Do you feel your nervous system is constantly heightened and dysregulated? Perhaps the feeling of hypervigilance, anxiety, and not being able to settle? This is a prevalent theme I hear from many of us with ADHD - myself included. If so, Kate's new four-part workshop series, Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System, is available here.In this week’s shorter ADHD Women's Wellbeing Wisdom episode, I chat with Lisa Ryan, an experienced trauma-informed physiotherapist and somatic therapy practitioner. Lisa supports individuals (many with ADHD) who experience persistent (chronic) pain and health issues such as fibromyalgia, long COVID, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), unexplained physical symptoms, burnout, tension headaches/migraines, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and many more. Lisa’s mission is simple - to help people find freedom from pain and troublesome symptoms, live well and thrive.During today's podcast episode, Lisa and I talk about:ADHD masking and its impact on the nervous systemCreating more safety in our bodyHow to move trauma through your bodyHow our busy society and little downtime contribute to a heightened nervous systemWhy chronic pain, CFS and fibromyalgia is connected to high levels of stress and trauma in our nervous systemIncorporating fun movement, nature, grounding and joy to settle and nurture the nervous systemSelf-holding, self-soothing and using different parts of our body to calm and regulateThe basic needs of the nervous system and how to meet themADHD and HypervigilanceTo connect with Lisa, head to her website, www.lisaryanphysiotherapy.com or connect on Instagram.Kate's new four-part workshop series, Regulating Your ADHD Nervous System, is available here.Welcome to a new episode of ADHD Women's Wellbeing Wisdom!
