Caryn Gill: OCD, anxiety & therapy with ADHD
Episode 143 with Caryn Gill.“Other people say, ‘Oh, that's on my 5-year plan.’ And I think, I don't have a 5-year plan. It's now or never.”Caryn is a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in OCD and anxiety disorders, and now ADHD thanks to her own diagnosis late last year. She currently works in private practice but has worn many hats in the past: as a clinical trainer and educator and as a music therapist working in hospitals and various clinics. She lives and works in Pennsylvania and is also licensed in CT, CA, and MO.Caryn talks about how her diagnosis has changed her work with clients, and her choice to be open about her own diagnosis when some therapists with ADHD tend to "hide in the shadows" about their condition.We also talk about neurodivergent anxiety and burnout and some of the root causes, and the need to develop boundaries and give ourselves space to be under-stimulated and underwhelmed in order to self-regulate and move beyond overwhelm.Website: https://caryngilltherapy.comInstagram: @therapist.carynLinks:Sign up for Caryn’s free crash course on building your counterstrategy to attack OCD and anxiety: https://caryngilltherapy.com- - - - -Episode Sponsors:Green Chef, the #1 Meal Kit for Eating Well.
