After eight years the podcast has changed names! Pressing Pause has become the Quiet ADHD Podcast.

The thing with discovering you have ADHD – an explanation for how you feel, think, act and react – is that it changes how you treat yourself when you feel, think, act and react the way you do.

Without this understanding I went through the first almost five decades of my life verbally berating myself. Criticising and shaming myself. Telling myself over and over that I was lacking, I was failing, I was too sensitive, I wasn’t strong enough… With this understanding I have drastically changed how I speak to and treat myself.

I’ve been thinking about scenarios in everyday life and how different my response and treatment of myself has become in recent years compared to how it was before I discovered my ADHD. I thought I’d share three of them with you in this episode, perhaps they’ll sound familiar.
