ADHD and Avoidance - Translating ADHD

What this episode covers

As ADHD adults, we are masters at finding ways to not do what we know we ought to do. We often think the problem is procrastination, but procrastination is not a helpful description of what is actually happening for us. In this episode, Cam and Shelly dive into one ADHD manifestation that can look like procrastination: avoidance. Using several examples we discuss how avoiding behavior can show up, and how listeners can learn to start to recognize avoiding behavior when it is showing up, and how to begin creating change here.
