ADHD, Vaping, and Smoking: What You Need to Know

ADHD and the Social Dilemma: It's about Self-Awareness

Self-restraint is an executive function. Self-restraint is born out of self-awareness, which is something those with ADHD struggle with. Collectively self-awareness and self-restraint result in self-regulation. Social media, politicians, the news media, and corporate America prey upon this challenge. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) talks about the Netflix documentary "The Social Dilemma" and illuminates how your own psychology is being used against you. Jeff talks about the need to look at yourself in the third person and use the documentary as a means to help you realize the spell being cast on you to get you addicted for their profit. The show is about creating self-awareness to manage yourself. If you have or are impacted by ADHD, you need to hear this episode.

ADHD: Thinking and Mental Effort

We think of ADHD as a deficit of attention. As we learn more and more, we find it's more an issue of self-regulation. Many episodes on Attention Talk Radio have highlighted the role working memory plays in ADHD. In this episode, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) interviews Dr. John Eastwood. They have an open and frank conversation about thinking, mental effort, and the challenges posed to those with ADHD, as well as the urge to escape.

ADHD: A Look at the Pandemic's Shadow

Those with ADHD struggle with self-regulation. In our current environment, everybody is obsessed over the COVID-19 pandemic. In its shadow is another pandemic few are talking about. And that is the addiction pandemic. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) interviews Dr. Clifford Sussman (https://cliffordsussmanmd.com). They talk about what they have seen in the last year with regard to addictions for those with ADHD. With isolation and quarantine, many of those with ADHD have turned to occupy their brains and stimulate them in the white space of life. Many don't realize the long-term implications of this escape to occupy their minds. Jeff and Dr. Sussman have an open conversation about what's going on and provide the clues. The focus is really to put a spotlight on this invisible pandemic so those with ADHD can take control of their lives.  If you are just of the curious nature or are struggling through COVID, it’s a shame you won't learn this.
