𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐠? 😵‍💫

You’re not alone, 𝐀𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲, 𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐃, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐭 can all affect focus, concentration, and energy, sometimes all at once.

Brain fog isn’t laziness or weakness. It’s your brain asking for support.

With anxiety, the mind is constantly in overdrive. Concentration gets hijacked by fear and “what if” thinking.

Unlike anxiety, ADHD challenges with focus are ongoing, not just when stressed. Tasks pile up, and it can feel like you’re always playing catch-up.

Burnout is your body hitting the brakes after too much stress for too long. It’s exhaustion on every level.

When all three overlap, brain fog feels overwhelming.
The good news? You don’t have to figure it out alone

If this feels familiar, it might be time to check in with someone outside your orbit.
Our psychologists offer ADHD assessments and ongoing support — for adults and children.

💥 Ever had your child completely lose it over something small, and thought, “They’re just trying to push my buttons”?

Here’s the truth 👉 meltdowns aren’t about misbehavior, they’re about biology.
When kids feel overwhelmed, their emotional brain (the amygdala) takes over, and their “thinking brain” (the prefrontal cortex) goes offline. That means they can’t reason, problem-solve, or make good choices in that moment.

💡 So instead of punishing or lecturing, what really helps is staying calm, co-regulating, and waiting for their nervous system to reset.

It’s not easy, but when we start seeing meltdowns as biology, not badness, we can respond with empathy instead of frustration. 💛

👩‍🏫 Want to understand more about what’s really behind your child’s behavior and how to create lasting change?
👉 Register now for our 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 seminar: “𝑾𝙝𝒂𝙩’𝙨 𝘽𝒆𝙝𝒊𝙣𝒅 𝒕𝙝𝒆 𝑩𝙚𝒉𝙖𝒗𝙞𝒐𝙪𝒓.”
Seats fill fast — don’t miss out!
