The Gap Trap!

from Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast · host TruStory FM

There's the version of you that exists right now, and the version you're pretty sure you should have become by this point. In this conversation, we get into the space between them, what Nikki calls the gap trap, and why that space fills up with shame so fast for ADHD brains.We talk about freeze as a nervous system response rather than a character problem, and about what it costs a fully grown adult to say "I don't know how to do this." Then Nikki offers the smallest possible way back in, along with three questions worth keeping close for the next time you're stuck.Nikki's new download, When You Feel Frozen: A Guide to Restarting Without Shame, is available now.Links & NotesGet the “When You Feel Frozen” GuideSupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (03:05) - The Gap Trap (21:07) - Restarting with no Shame ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
