The ADHD Adults Podcast

In Episode 23, the ADHD Adults cover the frustrating impact ADHD can have on sleep.  As usual, Alex the psychoeducation monkey tells us how and why this is,  there are some personal reflections about our sleep (or lack of), and some tips to improve sleep patterns.  Will Alex score a point playing 'What did James lose this week?" and will the usual correspondence from 'Robert from Kidderminster' get on James's tits. James thrusts sexually from the hips and Alex always gets eight hours Written by James Brown and Alex Conner. Produced by James Brown and JBHD Ltd.

Trigger KlaxxON (as Alex pronounces it...)Episode 22 covers the very emotive subject of how ADHD can affect our eating behaviours.  Alex the psychoeducational monkey tells us how and why this is,  very personal reflections from James about his eating disorder are shared, as is some advice on how to manage preparing food and our eating behaviours.  Another game of 'What did James lose this week?" managed to annoy Alex and the world waits for a letter from 'Robert from Kidderminster'. James gets ginger eyebrows and Alex is not 'officially' obese. Written by James Brown and Alex Conner. Produced by James Brown and JBHD Ltd.

In Episode 21, the ADHD adults James and Alex discuss that thing we all seem to do - procrastination. As usual, the podcast contains psychoeducation around why we put things off,  personal reflections on how procrastination has affected our lives (especially at work)   and some  'Top Tips' are shared, mostly by Alex of course. 'What did James lose this week?" returns largely now because it annoys Alex. Will Alex continue to get communication from Kidderminster?   Alex tries to be 'meta' and James introduces the words 'overfaced' to everyone not from Stoke on Trent.

Episode 18 brings in a ringer, Mrs ADHD, to help  Alex and James cover how menopause and peri-menopause and ADHD are such a difficult combination to navigate. As usual, there is some psychoeducation about how hormonal changes might complicate ADHD,  our personal reflections (only joking, Mrs ADHD does this bit) on ADHD and hormonal changes and we share some  'Top Tips' (Largely from Mrs ADHD). 'What did James lose this week?" returns to Alex's indifference and Alex continues to get letters from Kidderminster.  James demonstrates what a massive arsehole he is and Alex can't hide his glee at seeing James feel awkward.  Written by James Brown and Alex Conner.

In Episode 17, the ADHD adults Alex and James cover 'executive function', the set of higher-level thinking skills which are, well. As usual, the podcast contains some psychoeducation about what executive function is,  our personal reflections on how not having executive function skills like planning, working memory and inhibition impacts us and we'll share some  'Top Tips' (will James's be as useless as ever?). 'What did James lose this week?" returns to Alex's dismay and Alex continues to get communication from Kidderminster AND reads out 'actuall' emails.   James has a 'dick to phone' in what is possibly the worst joke ever and Alex asks a stupid question.

In Episode 16, James and Alex tackle the thorny, misunderstood issue of hyperfocus. For once, there is some decent psychoeducation (because James wrote it),  our personal reflections on how hyperfocus impacts us and some  'Top Tips', which for once James meaningfully contributes to (this is debatable).  'What did James lose this week?" returns and Alex reads out 'totally real' emails. There is some corpsing in this episode. Written by James Brown and Alex Conner. Produced by James Brown and JBHD Ltd.

In Episode 15, Alex and James discuss the massively long list of shit that ADHD often comes with, or to be more technical the 'comorbidities' of ADHD. As usual, there is some psychoeducation around what the comorbidities are,   personal reflections on our comorbidities (James's list is so long you might want to play that bit at 2x speed) and some  'Top Tips'.  'What did James lose this week?" continues to Alex's annoyance and Alex gets to read more emails that are definitely real.   Alex informs us that the egg came first and James clears out the fun cupboard.

In Episode 14, James and Alex discuss a form of anxiety Alex has made up (but it is very real in ADHD), the temporal or domestic anxiety that comes with a lack of activities or structure in time off. As usual, there is some psychoeducation (sort of),  painful personal reflections on how this affects us and some  'Top Tips', which as usual mostly come from Alex as James's are just rubbish  'What did James lose this week?" continues and Alex gets to read more 'absolutely real' emails.   James talks about his 'hole' a lot and Alex mentions the mysterious 'Lisa' for the first time.
