Dr. K takes a break while Dr. Micaela steps in to dive deep into ADHD, what it really is, how it’s misunderstood, and why it shows up in ways you may not expect. She breaks down the brain science behind executive function, emotion regulation, and social anxiety, showing how ADHD overlaps with everyday struggles people chalk up to laziness or personality flaws.
Topics include:
-
Why sleep issues often mimic or worsen ADHD symptoms
-
The link between ADHD and social anxiety (fear of negative evaluation)
-
How emotional reactivity and “ADHD guilt” show up after social interactions
-
Practical strategies for self-acceptance, self-regulation, and breaking the spiral of shame
This episode blends clinical insight with real talk about living with ADHD and offers encouragement for anyone learning to work with their brain, not against it.
