EP 165: When Love and Rage Share the Same Roof : ADHD and Emotional Dysregulation
Monday, 27 April, 2026
Following her recent Daily Mail feature, Dr Olivia Kessel opens up about one of the most misunderstood and most common aspects of ADHD: emotional dysregulation and flash anger.In this honest and practical episode, Olivia explores why emotional dysregulation isn't in the ADHD diagnostic criteria and why that matters. She unpacks the neuroscience behind flash anger and why reasoning in the moment makes things worse. She also goes into the hidden triggers behind explosions at home, including sleep deprivation, masking at school, hormonal cycles, hunger, transitions, and the "school angel, home devil" pattern so many parents recognise. And she shares the practical tools that transformed daily life in their household.Plus, messages from the community, including parents who felt, for the first time, that their experience was finally being reflected back to them.If you have ever felt trapped, ashamed, or utterly alone in what is happening behind your closed front door, this episode is for you.🎉 Join Me in Henley — Book Launch, May 7 @ 6:30 PM 👉 RSVPAn intimate evening in conversation, connection, and celebration.📚 New Book — Out May 7 👉 Order your copy Beyond the Label: Empowering Parents of ADHD Girls A powerful blend of science and lived experience to help you truly understand and support your daughter.💬 Connect with Us🌱 Join our SEND Parenting Private WhatsApp Community — a free, safe, welcoming space to share, learn, and feel supported by parents who truly understand the realities of neurodiverse family life.⚡ Ready to go deeper?
