This week, we explore the profound impact of understanding the reasons behind our behaviors and actions, particularly in the context of ADHD and the value of the official diagnosis. We delve into the complexities of identity, problem-solving, and the innate desire to find meaning in our experiences.
In this episode of The ADHD Podcast, hosts Nikki and Pete are joined by Dr. Roberto Olivardia, a renowned Clinical Psychologist, to explore the complex relationship between ADHD and OCD, shedding light on the challenges faced by those experiencing these conditions simultaneously.
Dr. Michael Felt is an ADHD & Executive Functioning specialist who has lectured at Yale University School of Medicine, and is a professor at Columbia University, where he teaches Psychopathology. He joins us this week to talk all about ADHD co-morbidities!
Why do we sabotage? Because we love too darned much. Today on the show, Dr. Dodge is back to talk about positive and negative affect tolerance and how it might just be playing with our ADHD.
Over the last few weeks, we have been exploring different topics related to our relationships and how we interact with others. Today, we welcome Dr. Ari Tuckman for a conversation about the relationship dynamic with one ADHD partner and one non-ADHD partner.
Forgive us a bit of ADHD introspection, but today’s episode we’re taking a bit of a walk down memory lane as we celebrate episode 600, AND 14 years of podcasting about ADHD and organizing.
This week, we are going to look through a new lens as we explore the dynamic of parents or caregivers and their kids, and how ADHD can impact that relationship both ways.
Dr. Tamara Rosier joins us to help us understand ADHD and empathy, and how it may actually make us an easier target for gaslighting by others.
Gaslighting, the insidious behavior of undermining someone’s reality that originated with the classic film, poses particular risks and challenges for those with ADHD. Today on The ADHD Podcast, we’ll explore why people with ADHD are vulnerable to gaslighting, how their symptoms can be misconstrued as manipulation, and, most importantly, how setting boundaries and trusting your instincts can help maintain confidence in the face of it.
Do you remember what it used to be like? Back in the day? Maybe back in high school? Maybe your head was clearer, memory better, you made quick changes more flexibly. Today, we look back on those days with longing. So… what changed?
