The ASSAP Framework

When Everything Feels Like Too Much

Staying functional through ADHD overload

Sometimes something feels wrong—but you can’t tell what.

Your emotions spike fast.

Your thinking disappears.

And instead of moving forward, you react, shut down, or avoid everything.

If you have ADHD, this is probably familiar.

This is for you if:

• You have ADHD and big feelings hit fast

• Your brain goes offline under stress

• You know you’re capable—but can’t access it in the moment

• Doing life solo makes it harder to slow things down

This is not therapy or emotional healing work.

It’s for staying functional when things get hard.

The real problem isn’t your emotions

You don’t want feelings to disappear.

You want them to stop running the show.

You’re tired of:

• Starting something and spiraling

• Shutting down or blowing up

• Feeling ashamed and having to “start over”

The pain isn’t the feelings.

It’s what happens because of them.

Why most advice fails

Being told to:

• calm down

• try harder

• fix your mindset

doesn’t help when your thinking has already gone offline.

This work is for that moment.

Not afterward.

Not when you feel calm.

How this helps

You’ll learn how to notice overload early, before shutdown takes over.

You’ll practice how to:

• Keep your thinking online without calming down

• Stay present without forcing control

• Make non-destructive choices while upset

We practice this together in real time—so it actually works when you need it.

You’ll also get simple tools (audio + visual maps) you can use during and after overwhelm.

What’s included

• Twelve weekly 50-minute Zoom sessions

• Two-way text check-ins

• Ongoing tools you can reuse anytime

What changes over time

First month:

• You understand how your spirals work

• You keep your thinking online more often

• Overwhelm starts to decrease

Second month:

• You catch spirals sooner

• You do less damage when upset

• You recover faster

By the end:

Spirals don’t run your life anymore.

A realistic promise

You will still spiral sometimes.

That’s how ADHD brains work.

What changes is what happens during a spiral:

• You’re not stuck as long

• You don’t blow things up as badly

• You make quicker, better decisions

Why now

Overwhelm costs you time, energy, and self-trust.

Waiting for calm keeps you frozen.

If you’re here, you’ve already taken a step.

This is the next one.

The bottom line

ASSAP helps you stay functional when emotions run high—without needing to calm down first.

It’s not about fixing you.

It’s about supporting you.

And for many people with ADHD, that’s what’s been missing.
