I WAS ALWAYS SEEN AS BEING 'FINE' | Emma Walsh | ADHD Beyond the Label
Description
In this week's episode content creator, presenter and professional driver Emma Walsh opens up on her recent ADHD diagnosis.
Explaining how finally having the confirmation has allowed her to piece together parts of her life that have previously left her feeling as though she was broken, or that there was something wrong with her.
Born in Cape Town to famous parents, Emma was always active, whether that be dancing, singing or playing the piano. This helped in her formative years to distract from the symptoms of her ADHD, something she went on to find more difficult in next period of her life.
Emma talks about building phenomenal resilience and how when working as part of a pop group, on a stage show or auditioning for a character role, rejection sensitivity played less of a part, but when she transitioned into presenting and content creation, the rejection she faced had a bigger impact on her as it felt personal.
Join John Reynolds and Dr Phil Anderton to hear Emma's story in full where she talks about being misdiagnosed with anti-depressants, overthinking, perfectionism, frustration and much more.
