Is your partner using ADHD or another diagnosis to excuse deception and bad behavior? In this episode, Alana and Amie welcome Luke Gordon (cofounder of Choose Recovery Services and certified betrayal trauma coach) back to their podcast. Luke gives his perspective on how ADHD can explain certain behaviors but should never be weaponized or used as an excuse for acting out. This episode will get you thinking about the interplay of mental health, healing, accountability, and recovery.
Listen to learn:
The difference between using a mental health diagnosis as a valid explanation vs an excuse for harmful behavior
The responsibility individuals have to manage symptoms, limit impact on others, and take ownership when they have a diagnosis
The importance of getting professional support when dealing with mental health conditions while healing
