    Slow Is Smooth, Smooth Is Fast

    Therapeutic pacing is not about moving slowly for the sake of caution. It’s about regulating speed, intensity, and emotional depth so the nervous system can actually integrate change rather than survive it. When pacing is right, therapy feels deceptively simple.

The ADHD Alchemist & The Tangled Threads: Episode Three – The Nerdie Therapist

Send us a textEver 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 perfectionYou’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.Download The Tangled Threads Toolkit at The Nerdie Therapist Resource Realm for today’s enchanted strategies.🎧 Listen to the latest episode of The Nerdie Therapist on your favorite podcast platform, or by visiting thenerdietherapist.comDon’t forget to subscribe and follow for more magical explorations!✨ Share your weaving wisdom and tangled-thread moments with us on social media @thenerdietherapist using #NerdieMagick.
