  • 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.
