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.Topics:0:00: Welcome2:30: My story with ADHD7:00: Young Elizabeth14:00: The difference one person can make19:00: Grad school, and beginning to grapple with my ADHD21:30: Using medication for the first time25:00: ADH, no D28:00: Offering something to your younger self About Elizabeth: Elizabeth Ferreira is a somatic psychotherapist in training currently working in her associateship in the SF Bay Area.
