I named my ADHD brain Kevin.Why? Because when Kevin tells me I’m a failure, catastrophises over one tiny mistake or starts replaying something embarrassing I said three days ago, it’s much easier to go, “Yep, Kevin’s being dramatic again”… And create some separation.In this episode, I’m sharing why naming your brain can be such a powerful way to create distance from your inner critic, reduce rumination & stop treating yourself like an asshole.We cover:Why that mean voice in your head can slowly erode your self-esteemThe science & psychology behind naming your brainHow naming your brain helps you separate you from the mental noiseThe 3 simple steps to name your own brain, notice its patterns & talk back to itBecause your brain is a storyteller, not a fortune teller.
