Saying no should be simple, but for ADHD brains, it’s anything but. Whether it’s people-pleasing, overcommitting, or feeling guilty every time you set a boundary, you’re not alone. In this episode, we’re unpacking why ADHD makes both saying and hearing no so difficult, the role of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, and how impulsivity and validation-seeking keep us stuck in the yes cycle.
We’ll also break down real strategies to set boundaries without guilt, including scripts you can use in everyday situations—at work, in friendships, and even with yourself. For parents, we’ll explore how to help ADHD kids handle the word no without meltdowns, teaching them emotional resilience while still holding limits.
