About this listen
Understanding ADHD, Numbing, and Shame: Navigating Mental WellnessIn this episode of 'You. Make It Happen.', the host addresses the challenges of maintaining a podcast while balancing mental health, particularly focusing on ADHD and its impact on energy and executive function. She discusses how ADHD results in executive function paralysis and shares personal experiences of managing the overwhelming feelings associated with the disorder. The episode also delves into the topic of numbing—using activities or substances to avoid feeling negative emotions. The host shares insights from Russell Brand's book, 'Recovery: Freedom from Our Addictions', and emphasizes the importance of allowing oneself to feel emotions fully. Vulnerable anecdotes are shared to illustrate how old emotional patterns can re-emerge unpredictably. The discussion highlights the struggle with shame, the need for emotional support, and strategies for managing difficult emotions.
