    DescriptionADHD, Emotional Intelligence, and Emotional Regulation
    ADHD is an executive functioning impairment. Self-regulation is a dominant executive function that involves regulating not only your attention, but also your emotions. While it's not a part of the diagnostic criteria, when emotions are dysregulated, attention is dysregulated. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, cognitive engineer and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com/) interviews Melissa Knight (https://melissaknightcoaching.com/), ADHD coach and disability expert at Lynn University (https://www.lynn.edu/). The two have a direct and honest conversation about the challenges many face around managing emotional intelligence. This is a big challenge. On one level, there's no easy way out. However, paying attention to the right things can increase your efficiency. If you struggle with emotions and ADHD, this is a show you don't want to miss.
