10: Coming to Terms with ADHD

Hey everyone, welcome back to the podcast. Today I'm focusing on my experience with ADHD, and some of the practices and process that have supported me in coming to terms with my nature. This includes exploring my personal story with ADHD, differences between the ADHD brain and a "typical" brain, the process of receiving a diagnosis, masking, how a diagnosis can be healing in and of itself, disconfirming our negative beliefs, and accepting who we are.

On this podcast we'll be bringing together the best lessons from psychology with holistic approaches to mental health and healing. By bridging the gap between mental health and spirituality, we can find new opportunities to heal from trauma, live in loving relationship, and reduce our suffering. Specific focuses include complex PTSD, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and finding a personal practice that works for you. My name's Elizabeth Ferreira, and I'm a somatic psychotherapist in training currently earning hours toward my license. My approach is holistic, non-judgmental, and centered in the belief that all beings have the capacity to heal, grow, and reduce suffering.
