Growing Up with ADHD and Its Traumatic Impact

from Attention Talk Radio · host Jeff Copper, MBA, PCC, PCAC, CPCC, ACG

Got ADHD? Do you struggle with emotional dysregulation? Are you hypersensitive to criticism? Are you sensitive in general? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, cognitive engineer and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) interviews Licensed Professional Counselor Emily Kircher-Morris (https://emilykirchermorris.com). The two discuss the realities of growing up with ADHD and the impact of always hearing “Sit down!”, “Stop!”, “Sit still!”—the negative experiences that are metaphorically death by a thousand paper cuts. They talk about how these past experiences manifest in everyday life and the challenges they present. If you have ADHD and struggle, this is a show you won't want to miss.  Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder, including managing symptoms of ADHD in adults with ADD or adults who have children with ADHD.
