ADHD: Pretending to be Normal

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is challenging for many. There are times these individuals perform and times they under perform. The inconsistency leads many to doubt their abilities. They build barriers to hide, to protect themselves, and in some cases use different personas to hide in plain sight. In this episode, we talk to ADDiva Linda Roggli (http://www.addiva.net). Linda shares her combined experience as an individual and a coach and illuminates how many use personas like the “perfectionist,” the “ditz,” the “super hero,” and others to deflect and protect. More importantly, she talks about the long-term effect of using such personas, how exhausting it is, and its impact on your inner self. If you identify with this or feel you masquerade in different ways so you won’t be found out, then you can’t miss this show!
