Therapy Intake Questions, ADHD Struggles, and Starting with a New Therapist | #084


Listen Later

Social media boundaries in therapy, ADHD shutdowns, and how productivity shame messes with your self-worth.

Starting therapy with someone new can feel… awkward. Louie shares about his first session with a new therapist, and the surprising comment he received on Instagram that sparked a deeper conversation. Should therapists follow you on social media? Meanwhile, Michael opens up about his ongoing struggles with ADHD, productivity shame, and what it’s like to emotionally shut down when tasks pile up. In this episode, we unpack:
  • Awkward first sessions with new therapists
  • Should your therapist follow your Instagram?
  • Therapy intake forms: too much too soon?
  • ADHD, executive dysfunction, and self-worth
  • The emotional weight of productivity culture
If you've ever questioned your therapist, your brain, or your to-do list — this one's for you.
