Meltdowns with ADHD are not “bad behaviour.”
They are moments of emotional overwhelm where the brain simply cannot process feelings logically anymore.

During a meltdown, we may feel:
✨ Frustrated
✨ Upset
✨ Disappointed
✨ Angry

And when emotions take over, we might say things we don’t mean, hurt ourselves, or break things not out of intention, but because we are overwhelmed and dysregulated.

The truth is:
ADHD brains experience emotions more intensely.
Frustration from symptoms, overstimulation, and emotional overload can quickly lead to a meltdown.

This is not a lack of discipline.
This is nervous system overload.

So what actually helps?

🌿 Have a designated safe space to retreat when emotions get high
🌿 Reflect on what happened and why without judging yourself
🌿 Communicate honestly and apologize if others were affected
🌿 Consider strategies to prevent similar situations in the future
🌿 Replenish your energy with rest, hydration, and comforting activities

After care is just as important as regulation.
Shame prolongs meltdowns.
Compassion heals them.

At Positive Living UAE, we support children, teens, and adults with ADHD through holistic therapy, emotional regulation tools, and Neurofeedback to help the brain feel safer, calmer, and more in control.

If your child experiences emotional meltdowns, you are not alone and they are not “too much.”
They are overwhelmed and in need of support, not punishment.

Parent–child estrangement doesn’t usually happen overnight.

It doesn’t start with a dramatic “I never want to see you again.”
It often begins quietly.

A child who suddenly doesn’t want to go for visitation.
A teenager who stops answering one parent’s calls.
A child who says, “I don’t feel comfortable there anymore,” but can’t explain why.

In real life, I’ve seen situations like this:

* A 9-year-old who used to adore his father slowly begins refusing to visit after hearing constant subtle comments like, “You know who really understands you…”
* A teenage girl who feels guilty enjoying time with her mother because she senses her father’s disappointment.
* A parent who, in their own pain, overshares adult details about the divorce, unintentionally placing the child in a loyalty conflict.

Here’s what’s important to understand:

Children are wired for attachment. They don’t naturally “cut off” a parent without internal conflict. When estrangement happens, it’s usually the result of emotional pressure, unresolved hurt, miscommunication, or a child trying to survive divided loyalties.

Sometimes a child withdraws because:

They feel they must choose sides.

They’re protecting the more emotionally fragile parent.

They’re overwhelmed and shutting down.

They’re reacting to past unresolved relational wounds.

Estrangement is rarely about one single moment. It’s about accumulated tension.

And the tragedy? The child carries that emotional burden in their nervous system often into adulthood.

Healing requires:

Removing the child from adult conflict.

Restoring emotional safety.

Allowing space for the child’s voice without manipulation.

Supporting both parents in regulating their own pain first.

Divorce ends a marriage.
It should not end a child’s relationship with either parent.

If you are navigating separation and feel distance growing between you and your child don’t ignore it, but don’t panic either. Estrangement can be prevented and repaired when addressed with awareness and emotional maturity.

If you need support in navigating divorce dynamics, co-parenting, or parent child disconnection, reach out.

🌿 Love Consciously, Not Reactively 💚

With Valentine's Day upon us, I’d like to remind you all, as a couple therapist at Positive Living, that love alone isn’t enough to sustain relationships. Why? Because love is subjective especially when shaped by our childhood experiences. If you grew up with absent parents or parents who didn’t get along not because they didn’t love you, but because they had their own unresolved traumas then love was often mixed with stress, hyper-vigilance, and insecurity. In these cases, love can show up as control or manipulation, not because of ill intent, but because it’s the only pattern we knew.

🔑 The shift is toward conscious love.

Conscious love is giving love that creates safety where your partner feels calm and secure.

Reactive love, shaped by unhealed patterns, creates distress. The person receiving it feels anxious, not loved.

💡 How do we move from reactive to conscious love?

Couple therapy isn’t just for those on the brink of divorce it’s for anyone who wants to love consciously.

In therapy, you uncover patterns and learn to give love in a way that creates safety.

You build a relationship where both partners feel calm, secure, and truly seen.

Loving consciously is a skill. Let’s shift from “love is enough” to “safe, conscious love sustains.” Let’s build relationships where safety and calmness are the foundation.

ADHD doesn’t live in the spotlight.
It lives in the quiet moments people rarely talk about.
The moments where someone looks “fine” on the outside…
but feels overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted on the inside.

These are the ADHD monsters no one warns you about not dramatic, not obvious, but deeply impactful in everyday life.

🧠 Hyperfixation that replaces meals and sleep
⚖️ Black-and-white thinking that turns one mistake into self-blame
🕰️ Forgetting tasks you truly meant to do
💭 Decision-making that feels paralyzing
🎧 Sensory overload, emotional intensity, fear of rejection
🌀 Difficulty switching tasks, even when you want to

This isn’t laziness. It isn’t carelessness. It’s a nervous system working overtime to survive.

Here’s the truth:
When ADHD is misunderstood, people internalize shame.
When it’s seen with compassion, people learn regulation, clarity, and self-trust.

✨ Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself.
It’s about understanding how your brain works and learning to support it instead of fighting it.

If you’re a parent, a mother, or someone living this quietly every day, support matters.
Conscious parenting and ADHD-informed therapy can change how you relate to yourself and your child.

Why do people with ADHD sometimes lie? Let’s talk openly, with compassion:

* ADHD brains often struggle with impulse control sometimes, words slip out before intentions catch up. 🍃

* Many with ADHD fear disappointing others lying can be a quick escape from shame or feeling “not good enough.” 🍂

* It’s not about deception it’s often a coping strategy when their nervous system feels overwhelmed. 💡

* ADHD can impair working memory sometimes they “fill in gaps” to recall or manage details they missed. 🌱

* Healing involves understanding, not judgment. When we get to the root, trust rebuilds, and honesty thrives. 🌻

* Therapy, neurofeedback, and conscious support help manage impulses and build self-worth. 🌿

Let’s replace shame with understanding. ADHD is not a moral failing it’s a neurotype. And with the right tools, we can foster honesty, growth, and empathy. 🌱💚

At Positive Living, we treat ADHD with neurofeedback and non-invasive holistic therapy.

“My child struggles to focus at school, becomes overwhelmed easily, and finds it hard to settle at night…”

If this sounds familiar, please know this: you are not alone and asking these questions already shows how deeply you care 🤍
Many parents come to us feeling worried, exhausted, and unsure of what to try next. There is support.

🧠 At Positive Living UAE, we use personalised neurofeedback training to support the brain’s ability to regulate itself.
Neurofeedback is non-invasive, drug-free, and works with the brain’s natural learning process making it gentle, child-friendly, and safe.

For many children, neurofeedback can help:
* Improve focus and attention
* Support emotional regulation and reduce overwhelm
* Encourage calmer nervous system responses
* Ease sleep difficulties and bedtime struggles
* Support overall balance at school and at home

🌿 Every child is unique.
That’s why our approach is always personalised, guided by assessment, observation, and care. We work closely with parents to ensure every child feels safe, supported, and understood throughout their journey.

👩‍👧 Neurofeedback isn’t only for children. We also support teens and adults experiencing challenges with focus, stress, sleep, or emotional balance.

If you’re wondering whether neurofeedback could be right for your child or recognising these patterns in yourself we’re here to answer your questions.

Neurofeedback: The Real Wings of Calmness 🪶

Ever felt like you needed more than just a can of energy drink to really feel free? Well, welcome to the magic of neurofeedback! It’s like getting a pair of invisible wings for your mind, lifting you above all that mental clutter. Here’s how neurofeedback gives you that light-as-air feeling:

🍃 Feel lighter: Release those heavy worries and overthinking loops.

🍃 Sleep better: Drift into a peaceful night's rest like you're floating on clouds.

🍃 Calm those nerves: Wave goodbye to anxiety and feel genuinely calmer.

🍃 Focus up: No more brain fog—just clear, sharp thinking.

🍃 Embrace freedom: From overanalyzing to feeling free and easy.

In other words, neurofeedback doesn’t just give you “wings,” it gives you a whole new altitude of mental peace and well-being. 🕊️✨

Parenting isn't meant to be a chain that ties you down. It’s not about feeling stuck or losing your freedom. Instead, conscious parenting is a journey of growth and joy. It’s about letting our children teach us to heal, become present, and find liberation in everyday moments.

Here’s what conscious parenting can be:
💚 A chance to awaken and heal our own childhood traumas.
💚 An invitation to practice presence and mindfulness.
💚 A path to finding more joy and playfulness in everyday life.
💚 An opportunity for personal and emotional growth.
💚 A journey of mutual learning where both parent and child evolve together.

And here’s what it shouldn’t be:
🍃 Feeling chained to the role of a parent.
🍃 Being stuck at home and losing your sense of self.
🍃 Constantly overanalyzing or feeling overwhelmed.
🍃 Viewing parenting as just a heavy chore rather than a journey of growth.
🍃 Living in a constant state of exhaustion without seeking joy in the process.
🍃 Feeling like you have to be perfect instead of embracing imperfection.

🌿Conscious Parenting on the Road: It Starts With Us 🌿

Conscious parenting isn’t just about how we guide our children; it’s about how we carry our own peace into every moment even when we’re stuck in traffic. 🚗✨

When you're behind the wheel, facing a line of honking cars and impatient drivers, remember that your calmness is the best lesson you can offer. Instead of focusing on “fixing” your child, focus on modeling the peace and emotional regulation you want them to learn. Children co-regulate from our energy, and the road is a perfect place to practice that mindful presence.

Here’s why keeping your cool matters:

🌱 Children Learn by Example: Your calm response teaches them to handle stress with grace.

🌱 Co-Regulation is Key: Kids pick up on our energy. If we stay calm, they learn to stay calm.

🌱 It's a Practice for Parents: Conscious parenting means we practice patience in real-life scenarios, like traffic jams.

🌱 Modeling Emotional Regulation: Showing how to breathe through frustration helps children handle their own big emotions.

🌱 Creating a Peaceful Environment: Ultimately, the atmosphere of calm you cultivate on the road translates into a more peaceful home.

So next time you're tempted to honk or stress out in traffic, remember: conscious parenting starts with your own peace. Your child is watching, and they’ll learn that the road to calmness is one we drive together.

🧠 “I’m always tired… I can’t focus… My brain just won’t shut off.”
If this sounds like you (or someone you love), you’re not imagining it.
Your brain may be stuck in stress loops and we’re here to help it reset.

👉 Did you know your brain produces around 70,000 thoughts a day?
Most of them are repeated patterns shaped by years of pressure, overthinking, and emotional overload. That’s why even after a good night’s sleep, your mind can still feel foggy, anxious, or “on edge.”

At Positive Living UAE, we help you retrain your brain naturally through something called Neurofeedback Therapy.

🎯 What Is Neurofeedback?
It’s a non-invasive, science-backed therapy that gives your brain real-time feedback about its activity. Your brain literally learns how to regulate itself leading to calmer, clearer, more focused thinking.

💡 What We Often Hear from Clients:
* “I can’t switch off even when I’m exhausted.”
* “I keep reacting to small things — I feel out of control.”
* “No matter what I try, I feel emotionally drained.”

💚 What Happens After Neurofeedback:
* “I finally sleep through the night.”
* “My mind feels clear, focused not scattered.”
* “I don’t snap like I used to. I pause, then respond.”
* “This changed everything for me.”

✨ Whether you're dealing with anxiety, ADHD, burnout, or just feel “off,” Neurofeedback helps your brain do what it’s designed to do heal, balance, and thrive.

We don’t believe in quick fixes.
We believe in helping your brain change for good.

Finding Better Ways, One Therapy Meme at a Time ✨

Sometimes, the ways we learned to cope were formed when we were too young to know any better. That’s the heart of this little meme video: a playful reminder that our "outdated" coping mechanisms can get a refresh. Therapy is where we learn those better ways to navigate life, upgrade our mental toolkit, and gently transform those old ego defenses into something more empowering.

💚 Therapy isn’t just for crisis; it’s for growth.
🍃 It’s a space to learn healthier ways of handling whatever life throws at you.
💚 Think of it as upgrading your old “software” for a more resilient and flexible mindset.

There’s always a better way, and therapy helps you find it.

💚 At Positive Living UAE, we offer:
🍃 Neurofeedback to retrain your brain’s patterns.
🍃 RTT Clinical Hypnosis to access and heal subconscious blocks.
🍃 Compassionate Inquiry inspired by Dr. Gabor Maté.
🍃 Conscious Parenting Coaching to foster connected families.
🍃 Imago Couple Therapy to deepen relationships.
🍃 Holistic Psychotherapy to integrate mind, body, and spirit.
