ADHD: when deep breathing makes you tenser, sneak up on calm instead. Somatic movement specialist Kira Macoun has a client whose body seizes up at the thought of deep breaths. So instead of forcing the breath, Kira had her imagine her feet sinking into soft mud. Five minutes later: "I feel calm." No breath counting. No forcing stillness. Just the body finding its own way in. If "just breathe" makes you tense up, your feet might be the access point you need. What's your body's version of "don't tell me to breathe"? Tell me in the comments. Full episode link in bio. #ADHD #ADHDwomen #SomaticExercises #NervousSystemRegulation #Grounding #CantMeditate #NeurodivergentWomen
