  • Dealing with time

    Not identifying cognitive distortions with ADHD is really what is wrong with this episode. Neurotypical people have cognitive distortions. But. … it’s really a massive gaslight to make an ADHD “obsessive” thought about time normalised. It’s anxiety, a cognitive distortion and much more distorted in a person experiencing ADHD.

  • Terrible host

    The host is unbearable and the worst interviewer ever. He asks bad questions, keeps groaning in between the guests answers, says “um” too much and doesn’t contribute anything. He doesn’t know how to guide the guest and the guest just starts rambling about nothing. Podcasts really need to be vetted so we don’t waste time with this garbage.
