304: ADHD, Relationships, & Rejection Sensitivity - with Dr. Carrie Jackson, Licensed Psychologist

Dr. Carrie Jackson is a licensed psychologist who specializes in ADHD, and has ADHD herself. She’s passionate about supporting parents of kids with ADHD through both her clinical work and an online course she created just for them. Dr. Carrie is also a content creator who shares guidance and encouragement with parents of ADHD kids online, and she runs a private practice focused on helping families thrive.

In this episode, we explore the complexities of ADHD beyond attention and focus. We explore how ADHD can impact relationships, self-worth, and emotional regulation.

We discuss rejection sensitivity, communication challenges, and the emotional toll ADHD can have on individuals and their loved ones, especially in romantic relationships. We unpack the overlap between ADHD and anxiety, how executive functioning struggles show up in daily life, and why shame often accompanies these struggles.

We explore strategies for managing ADHD symptoms, improving productivity without burnout, and finding support that honors each individual's needs.
