Description

Earlier this week whilst in another country, I was 100% convinced I was about to die in a tsunami. My ADHD brain had already planned the escape route, packed the bags, and decided it was all over.


That’s the sneaky power of all-or-nothing thinking - one of ADHD’s favourite mental habits. In this episode, we’ll cover:


  • Why ADHD brains default to extremes and struggle to see the middle ground
  • Real-life examples of how black-and-white thinking shows up in daily life
  • The link between your thoughts, feelings, and actions (and why this way of thinking increases procrastination & paralysis!)
  • My simple NAP tool to shift your thinking and regulate your emotions


If you’ve ever caught yourself saying “I always screw up” or “I’ll never get this right,” this episode is for you!
