Common questions

What makes this different from generic emotional regulation advice?

The tools are built for fast activation, short attention windows, and real ADHD-style overload instead of calm-room ideal conditions.

Does it focus only on feelings?

No. It ties regulation directly to work, routines, task-starting, sensory load, and self-talk.
