ADHD, Shame, and the Challenge of Acceptance

Do you struggle with ADHD, failed systems, negative self-talk, and feelings of shame? Many people are told to "accept themselves," but what does that actually mean, and how do you get there? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coaches Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) and Nikki Kinzer (https://takecontroladhd.com) explore radical acceptance, shame, and rejection sensitivity dysphoria. Drawing on Nikki's work and insights from Dr. Russell Barkley's executive function model, they discuss why accepting ADHD can be so difficult and explain the process of acceptance that everyone experiences. If you've ever struggled to embrace your ADHD and move beyond self-criticism, this episode offers practical insights to help you better understand—and accelerate—your journey toward acceptance.  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.
