From Chaos to Calm: How to Calm a Dysregulated ADHD Nervous System
Living with ADHD can often feel like being caught in a constant storm — your thoughts race, emotions swing, and your body never seems to fully rest. For many adults and teens, this isn’t just about distraction or restlessness; it’s a nervous system stuck in overdrive. At Benoni Psychotherapy, Ahmed Mayet, a highly qualified clinical psychologist, offers therapy for ADHD in Rynfield designed to help you move from chaos to calm.
Understanding ADHD and Nervous System Dysregulation
ADHD is not merely about attention or impulsivity — it’s a neurobiological condition that impacts how your brain and body regulate stress and emotions. When your nervous system becomes dysregulated, everyday challenges can feel overwhelming.
You might experience:
-
Emotional outbursts or mood swings
-
Difficulty winding down or falling asleep
-
Sensory sensitivity (loud noises, bright lights, touch)
-
Chronic tension, anxiety, or fatigue
Therapy can help retrain your mind and body to find balance, allowing you to function more calmly and confidently.
How Therapy for ADHD in Rynfield Can Help You Regain Balance
Therapy for ADHD in Rynfield focuses on more than symptom management — it’s about understanding your nervous system and learning how to regulate it effectively. Under the guidance of Ahmed Mayet, therapy helps you:
-
Recognize Triggers – Identify what overstimulates your nervous system and how to respond rather than react.
-
Build Emotional Regulation Skills – Use grounding techniques to stabilize mood swings and stress responses.
-
Develop Mind-Body Awareness – Learn how your emotions manifest physically, helping you intervene before overwhelm hits.
-
Establish Calming Routines – Incorporate mindfulness, structured routines, and self-compassion into daily life.
Through gentle, evidence-based approaches, therapy helps you experience more control, focus, and peace — both mentally and physically.
The Science Behind ADHD and the Body’s Stress Response
When someone with ADHD experiences stress or overstimulation, their body may stay stuck in a “fight, flight, or freeze” mode. This constant activation floods the body with adrenaline and cortisol, leaving you exhausted but unable to switch off.
Therapy with Ahmed Mayet at Benoni Psychotherapy helps restore equilibrium by:
-
Teaching grounding and breathing techniques that reduce hyperarousal
-
Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to reframe unhelpful thought patterns
-
Integrating mindfulness and somatic practices to relax the body
-
Providing psychoeducation on ADHD and emotional self-regulation
Over time, you learn to respond to challenges from a place of calm rather than chaos.
Creating Calm Through Connection and Structure
People with ADHD often thrive when their environment supports calm and predictability. During sessions, Ahmed Mayet helps you create systems that support your unique brain and nervous system, such as:
-
Consistent daily routines
-
Breaks for sensory regulation (movement, quiet, grounding)
You’ll leave each session with practical tools — not just insights — that you can immediately apply to everyday life.
The Role of Self-Compassion in ADHD Recovery
One of the most healing parts of therapy is learning to treat yourself with understanding rather than frustration. Many clients arrive at Benoni Psychotherapy feeling defeated by years of self-criticism. Through therapy, they rediscover self-acceptance and the ability to celebrate progress, no matter how small.
You’re not broken — your brain simply works differently. Therapy helps you turn that difference into strength.
