Translating ADHD

From Shame to Acceptance: Transforming ADHD Struggles


Listen Later

In this episode of Translating ADHD, Ash and Dusty explore the vital theme of self-acceptance in the context of living with ADHD. They discuss the challenges faced by individuals, particularly those who were late-diagnosed, and how societal values can influence feelings of shame and inadequacy. Through real-life examples and client stories, they illustrate the importance of reframing self-criticism into curiosity, allowing for meaningful behavioral changes and personal growth.

The conversation also emphasizes the power of community in fostering self-acceptance. By engaging with others who share similar experiences, individuals can validate their struggles and find understanding. Ash and Dusty highlight how creating a supportive environment encourages curiosity and experimentation, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling life that honors one's unique neurodivergent journey.
