New on ADHDKC Conversations: Meet Dr. Sasha Hamdani
If you’ve ever wondered why emotions can feel like such a big part of ADHD, you won’t want to miss our October ADHDKC Parent Group!
In this episode of ADHDKC Conversations, we introduce Dr. Sasha Hamdani, psychiatrist, ADHD clinical specialist, author of two books, including her recently released Too Sensitive, and our featured speaker for October. We’re excited to bring her to ADHDKC to talk with our parent community because she is a force in ADHD advocacy.
Our conversation gives you a preview of the ideas Dr. Hamdani will explore more fully in her upcoming presentation, “ADHD and Emotional Dysregulation: The Missing Piece.” We talk about why ADHD may be better understood as a disorder of regulation—not just attention—including the regulation of emotions, motivation, energy, and attention.
In this episode Dr. Hamdani also shares some fascinating insight into the neurobiology of emotional sensitivity and an important reminder for parents: when a child is highly dysregulated, they may not be able to access the coping tools they’ve learned. Helping our kids regulate often starts with understanding what is happening in their brains—and sometimes with regulating ourselves first.
And this is just the introduction! Listen and see why we’re so excited to learn with Dr Hamdani.
