ADHD & DIVORCE is a deep exploration into the hypothesis that a lack of self love by one or both parents could be the cause for a child to behave in ways that we label as ADHD. Hear for yourself and let us know what you think at www.adhdisover.com

ADHD & SELF LOVE is a downloaded hypothesis that explores the relationship between distractions and our lack of self love. What if we are beings of love, present in the moment and able to focus on what's in front of us only when we manage to remove the distractions that keep us from doing so? What if ADHD is a direct result of a deep lack of self love, due to past unprocessed and unhealed traumas, resulting in a nervous system that's frozen (aka in 'defense mode')? We are so addicted to distracingt ourselves from ourselves that we have gotten used to the noise of the distractions around us and we haven't started to consciously heal the state of our nervous systems... Listen in for yourself and enjoy the ride! For more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.com

ADHD & TANTRA is an episode created to disrupt the linear thinking around what can get a human being to stretch her or his ability to pay attention. What if the most powerful modalities that could help someone with a traumatized nervous system to 'unfreeze' that system are not yet recognized as qualified? In his book 'The Radiance Sutras', Lorin Roche, PhD explores the notion that Tantra is 'the practice of stretching ourselves, to extend our capacity for attention to the utmost'. If that's the case, wouldn't it make sense for experts to look into what the practices of Tantra do to a person's nervous system and if over time these practices could cause someone to be more present in life (aka. pay attention)? Listen in for yourself and see what you think about the connection between ADHD & Tantra.

STOP BEING PROUD OF HAVING ADHD is an episode about the biggest overlooked Stigma: 'The fact that we label people with these behaviors (aka Symptoms) with one of the most disempowering words in the English language - Disorder.' When we label people with ADHD, we stigmatize them with the biggest stigma there is... If we really want to 'advocate' for people who struggle with focus in life, we need to fist get rid of the word 'disorder' in ADHD in the DSM and we need to start making it illegal for ADHD experts, authors and doctors to receive funding from pharmaceutical companies. Period. Any other 'activist' work around ADHD is just fluffy self-promoting, elbow-rubbing nicey-nicey nonsense and frankly a pseudo-moralistic stand in order to look good in front of their peers. Wake up. Cut it out. Get real. Stop the pride.

You can call it 'Comorbidity' but I call it the 'gateway diagnosis'... one thing is for sure... we have way too many [ADHD] children on way too many pharmaceutical drugs! A recent New York Times Article spells it out pretty clearly for even the mainstream nay sayers... We. Are. Treating. Children. Like. Guinea Pigs. We must stop this! https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/27/health/teens-psychiatric-drugs.html?unlocked_article_code=7ETjLu3L0nsmIl5uf8r9jJH5FZNdL-SPsYhkozo9f6XDKiUSxSXXf67dVxCeiQNnftm1b29wJSebDiO4odnjVgVuoenGmr8GX5_FxFv_BLhUoMRZ_-I_N89nbPdR4HgfaefQ0hpC-0PVVm9OYu9ZjNtxB61-N57TWvO6FRuItACBqi7-Elf_qKQFCYzelYc6B6PxX_1Rz1gRNauCzxZuJuri7NTm7YdqkbWuO3q1YaE1R7to-jC7xkDJMKXVK2fa-N1Pyji_bAYMJrATBjZ4mlcE1yeiZQbPfG9F7U7KQPXoNpZyXUqtW82WgwuqPcvFZTtzadALmMPHVrzfEySKeA&smid=share-url&fbclid=IwAR2U5k9QV-dkF3c4HdGkoN1ZoO5wAJoLRTc3HdPi8i2GSel_ao168DD_VXU For more information on this podcast, please visit www.adhdisover.com And add us on Facebook - @adhdisover Or e-mail us directly at hello@adhdisover.com
