Reprograming ”Feeling Behind”


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the persistent feeling of being "behind" in life among adults with ADHD, often exacerbated by their underdeveloped frontal lobes. We discuss reprogramming these deeply ingrained perceptions.

The episode begins by acknowledging the unique brain development challenges that individuals with ADHD face, primarily involving underdeveloped frontal lobes. These challenges affect executive functions and contribute to a constant sense of lagging behind.

We delve into the lasting impact of early comparisons on self-esteem and self-worth and then navigate through various stages of human development, emphasizing that individuals with ADHD may reach milestones at their own pace.

Personal anecdotes illustrate the struggles faced by the host and how they relate to the feeling of falling behind. These stories highlight the need to reprogram these deeply ingrained perceptions.

We explore the discord between societal expectations and the strengths of individuals with ADHD, emphasizing the importance of embracing individual strengths and personal growth rather than fitting into societal molds.

The episode concludes by stressing the significance of love and connection over comparison, encouraging listeners to find a sense of belonging and purpose, irrespective of their past experiences.
