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.
