Apple Podcasts5Krystal CroninAustralia6 months ago - Very helpful!
A podcast that explains and reflects, in a very relatable and personable way, my own experience with ADHD. It’s very affirming to realise you’re not actually alone in these experiences!
For example, this podcast is the first time I have heard my personal experience with meditation explained - panic followed by disassociation (for me it’s a feeling of the world being “unreal” or that I’m in a waking dream), as well as some simple things that might help.
Thank you for this and other insights!

I have learned how to better understand my kids, myself, how to advocate better and how to take better care of myself.

Whilst I don’t believe I am neurodiv... more
