from Self-Conscious with Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy talks with Dr. Alok Kanojia—aka Dr. K—a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, former monk, gamer, and meditation teacher, about his Audible Original 30 Days to Thrive with ADHD, where he shows listeners not just how to cope but how to turn the unique traits of ADHD into strengths that fuel resilience, creativity, and success. Five Key TakeawaysWhy ADHD is both over diagnosed and underdiagnosed, and how it can look very different in boys versus girls.The surprising truth about stimulant medication versus therapy—and why skill-building often works better long-term.How hyperfocus, impulsivity, and distraction are two sides of the same coin, and how to work with them instead of against them.Why many people struggle with self-esteem, shame, and addiction alongside ADHD, and how that shapes adult life.A practical exercise called “urge surfing” that helps you ride out cravings and impulses without giving in.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
