Self-restraint is an executive function. Self-restraint is born out of self-awareness, which is something those with ADHD struggle with. Collectively self-awareness and self-restraint result in self-regulation. Social media, politicians, the news media, and corporate America prey upon this challenge. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) talks about the Netflix documentary "The Social Dilemma" and illuminates how your own psychology is being used against you. Jeff talks about the need to look at yourself in the third person and use the documentary as a means to help you realize the spell being cast on you to get you addicted for their profit.
