Navigating ADHD

Today Clodagh is joined by Sandra who very bravely shares her Unspoken with us. Sandra’s story centres around her lifelong struggle of feeling like she was never reaching her full potential and being so self critical and disappointed in herself because of this; her difficulty in forming meaningful relationships with people, which usually led to her giving up and moving on; and the earth shifting moment she experienced, when, as her daughter was undergoing an ADHD assessment, everything suddenly made sense for her. Sandra speaks so passionately about her experience and that of her daughter, and today’s episode is a must listen for us all. Follow Sandra on Instagram @sandra_kelly_art Resources:Books: Scattered Minds (Dr Gabor Mate)The Queen of Distraction: How Women with ADHD Can Conquer Chaos, Find Focus, and Get More Done (Terry Matlen)The Mindfulness Prescription for Adult ADHD (Lidia Zylowska)Website: ADHDireland.ieApp: The Adult ADHD App (search Google Play or on the App Store)Today’s podcast is very kindly sponsored by Sensate.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to Unspoken, the podcast that highlights experiences that are all too common but rarely discussed. I am Dr Clodagh Campbell, The Wellness Psychologist, and I feel very passionately about speaking the Unspoken to remove the taboo and shame that so often surrounds our experiences and internal worlds.  For each episode of Unspoken I am joined by someone who would like to uncover their unspoken story with us, in order to help themselves, but also to help others. Episodes will mirror the therapy process, cultivating a listening experience where those tuning in will feel like they have a fly on the wall vantage of these unspoken, often taboo topics, that are actually far more common than we might care to admit or realise.Episodes will conclude with me sharing my expert advice on how those listening who relate to this Unspoken can care for themselves and lower the distress they or a loved one may be experiencing, for we all have our Unspokens, and now is the time for us break through the shame and taboo that has always held us back Hosted on Acast.
